WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

The Act does not apply if the internet is used to link a computer in Australia with an amateur station in another country and radiocommunications transmissions do not occur in Australia. In these circumstances, the activity is outside the regulatory scope of the ACMA. Wow, I missed that. :smt045 Th...

Hello Robbage,

Yes, I have my access already after scanning my apparatus licence and upload it to the
Echolink management through their website. =D>
Yes, I have to be careful not to connect to nodes especially the overseas nodes that are
operating outside my bandplan.

I have rang ACMA today and spoke with one of the officer : Craig Hamilton Smith Licensing Officer Radiocommunications Licensing & Telecommunications Deployment Section He said that I as a Foundation Amateur Licensee can use the Echolink software straight from my computer as a 'single user mode' ...

To VK6ZMS, I know that a few days ago you said (while on air at the VK6RAP 2 Meters repeater) that a Foundation Licensee can use an Echolink software directly from a computer as long as it is running on a 'single user mode' meaning that it is not hooked up to a radio-transceiver as in repeaters or s...

Thank's all you have been very helpful

While it may not need them to get a low SWR it wont radiate its signal too well without them. You get ground loss.

Ok, I will reasearch on the ground radials.

Thank's

If you plan to have other antenna's later, might as well run a few now, rather than wait till later. Hello Blinky, Yes I'm planning to install another antenna for HF. I'm planning to install one of these for my HF. http://www.strictlyham.com.au/diamond/base-antennas/kv-series-base-antennas Do diffe...

To VK6ZMS,

Oh no, I have emailed him that. Hopefully he doesn't get annoyed of me asking him that twice. Anyway, I'm going to order the antenna first and get the Antenna Man to install it.

Thank's

To VK6ZMS, Yes, thank's for that informations. I re-contact Tower Communications via e-mail this time hopefully he understand me this time. And also I had a look at the review on the Diamond KV5 Vertical Antenna. Apparently they don't need radials according this review. http://www.eham.net/reviews/d...

Hello VK6ZMS Yes, ok I will get the Diamond X50 or may be Comet GP3 now since you say that it's safer to get those than from eBay. Anyway, I have contacted John Tower (Tower Communication) asking him if he can install the antenna for me. He said that he doesn't install antennas and told me to get 'T...

Hello VK6ZMS For now, I will just want to install a dual band VHF/UHF Antenna and cable that to my room. Just like below link to be used with my handheld Yaesu FT-60R so that I don't have to go outside when I need to transmit. ( Since I mentioned this antenna I also want to ask your opinion about th...

Does anyone know a good antenna installer in Perth for Amateur Antenna ? I'm a beginner in amateur radio so I need someone who can help me choosing and installing antennas.

Do you think ACMA will bust me if I buy this toy ?

@Always RX :

Thank's for that mate. I notice by looking at the number of registrations in that list it seems that not all McDonald's or Hungry Jack's use radio communication. I'm I correct ?
