WIA Christmas Message:

Firstly I wish all amateurs a happy and safe Christmas for 2017 and hope we are all looking forward to what 2018 will bring. At the end of each WIA Board meeting agenda and minutes is a reminder for the board as to why we are here - namely the Objects of the Wireless Institute of Australia and I focus this Christmas message and thank you using these objects. Number one is to promote, advance and represent in any way it thinks fit Amateur Radio and the interests of Radio Amateurs. I thank the many many affiliated clubs with volunteers that ceaselessly promote amateur radio to the general public. They see amateur radio operators out in the bush, on that car rally, on an equine endurance, boating, canoe, running or cycling event. At JOTA/JOTI helping the scouts and guides make contact using radio, satellites and the internet. Helping the fire authorities or SES with radio communications through WICEN groups. They see students talking with Astronauts on the International Space Station with schools and many other events and functions and all using amateur radio.
