Adaptability on the Airwaves: The Wauchope Amateur Radio Club Embraces a Dynamic Future

The Wauchope Amateur Radio Club Inc., proudly holding the callsign VK2WRC, continues its active engagement in the amateur radio community, with a keen focus on participating in as many competitions as possible throughout 2024. Beyond the thrill of competition, the club's members stand ready to serve, actively participating in emergency service organisations and offering their expertise to assist with various community events.

Reflecting the evolving landscape of communication and gatherings, the Wauchope Amateur Radio Club has adopted a flexible approach to its meetings. General meetings will now be held "as required," with the venue adapting to the circumstances. Members can expect to connect at contests, events, and online platforms. For virtual gatherings, Skype will be the chosen medium. The club remains committed to fulfilling its regulatory obligations, ensuring compliance with Fair Trading requirements by holding at least three Committee Meetings and an Annual General Meeting (AGM) each year. Notifications regarding future meetings and their format will be communicated through their usual channels.

While the traditional fixed meeting location may have shifted, the club's commitment to fostering amateur radio remains steadfast.
