BORDERTOWN, SOUTH AUSTRALIA – In the agricultural heartlands of South Australia's Limestone Coast, the Naracoorte Radio Club maintains a formal, if notably quiet, existence. While detailed public information regarding regular meetings, specific on-air activities, or a dedicated clubhouse is not readily available from the provided records, the club's continued registration and listed committee structure signify the persistence of a dedicated, albeit potentially small, group of radio enthusiasts in the region.
The club's administrative anchor appears to be a post office box in Bordertown (PO Box 202, SA 5268), a town situated to the east of Naracoorte, suggesting either a broad regional membership catchment or historical administrative arrangements. The leadership reflects a reach that may even cross state lines, with Ross Schriever (VK3KBO) serving as President, reachable on a telephone number with a Victorian area code (03 5583 8230). Closer to the club's nominal home, Alan Nankivell (VK5ZLT) fulfills the dual roles of Secretary and Treasurer, with a contact number based in South Australia (08 8758 7231).
Such regional clubs, even those with a minimal public footprint, often depend on the unwavering commitment of a few key individuals to sustain their formal operations. The Naracoorte Radio Club, by virtue of its listed contacts and postal address, continues to offer a point of reference for individuals in the Naracoorte district and the wider Limestone Coast who may have an interest in the diverse field of amateur radio.
While the current level of overt public activity remains undefined, the Naracoorte Radio Club’s registered presence ensures it remains a node, however quiescent, in the extensive network of amateur radio, a testament to the enduring appeal of the hobby in regional communities.
