Gidday!
I’m David VK4DN from the Bundaberg Amateur Radio Club – We are hosting the WIA Convention and Expo/Hamfest here in Bundaberg on May 4th / 5th in 2024.
It is the biggest event in the calendar year for Amateur Radio in Australia! Our members are thrilled to be hosting the event and we would like to extend a warm welcome to your club and members to attend the event.
The weekend includes the WIA AGM, several keynote presentations by guest speakers / a Commercial Expo and Hamfest / Field Day. A gala dinner and lots of other activities! We have even managed to secure a contact with the ISS on Saturday evening with a local high school – (The kids will be able to talk with an astronaut on the space station!)
We are also seeking guest speakers for the event with several slots available – If any member of your club would be interested in doing a talk about something they are passionate about (preferably related to Amateur Radio!) 😊
It should be a very interesting weekend and an opportunity for amateurs from all over Australia to gather and network with other people interested in the hobby.
If you could please forward this email to your members, and discuss at the next meeting, it would be much appreciated! 😉
If you guys have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to make contact with me!
Should any of your members like to book a table for the HamFest or give a talk, please ask them to make contact as well.
Kind regards,
David VK4DN
Secretary – Bundaberg Amateur Radio Club
