AM and CW on Anzac Day event

AM and CW on Anzac Day event

The Tableland Radio Group come up with this idea about 4 years ago after a discussion with an ex Australian Coastwatcher who served in world war 2 - ex SGT Lionel Veale was talking about his use of the transceiver ATR4A which only put out a couple of watts on AM or CW but it was highly successful for military operations.

We thought that, as a lot of the communications in wars is by radio communications, we should use that medium and the old modes as a form of a radio salute to those who served or are serving.
The event commenced 4 years ago and several clubs and groups joined in with ex HMAS Diamintina VK4RAN, ex HMAS Castlemaine VK3RAN plus Amateurs in Northern Queensland and at several locations throughout Australia.

This year, we'll have both the Diamintina and Castlemaine, North Queensland Amateurs, Lake Boga near Swan Hill, Johnno VK3FMPB at Ballarat Showgrounds, Alan AX5PBZ at Trumby Bay RSL.
Many of those taking place will be operating from ex military radios or old transceivers which are crystal locked.

So we ask that Australian Amateurs join in and make the change to AM and CW on Anzac day - April 25th
