In NewsWest for Sunday 6th June 2021 we delve into Amateur Radio contesting, and we’ll tell you about Aussie and International contests that are coming up in the next couple of months, including a contest that was new in 2020, and it’s a contest that creates a level playing field for all contestants. Interesting concept, and Mike will tell us all about it later on. NewsWest is heard on air, online and on demand.
