    In the news this week we find out about a new owner of the Western Australian Valve Bank which until now has been managed and maintained by Wayne VK6FT.

    We hear from the WA VHF Group who have just reactivated their 5.7 and 10 GHz beacons and have some ZLPLL-based microwave beacon boards on display at their monthly meeting.

    The Radio Amateur Society of Australia shares the news that the ACMA have released their Draft Five Year Spectrum Outlook and we have contesting galore in our monthly contesting special with the Winter UHF/VHF Field Day, the VK Shires, the Trans Tasman, the RD contest and the Alara Contest.
