                           WICEN News

Users  of  the  Sydney  WICEN  repeaters  are asked to be patient
whilst a problem is being sorted out; it appears that  since  the
re-commissioning  of  the system several interfering signals have
arisen.

WICEN's "silly season" is almost over, and the  only  event  this
month  is  the deadline for newsletter articles, on Tuesday.  Re-
member: no submitted articles means a thin newsletter.   Unfinan-
cial  members  are reminded that their membership will officially
terminate on 30th September.

Looking ahead to October, there is the VRA Annual  Conference  on
the  weekend  of  8-9th October, to be held in Wagga, and further
details will appear in a later broadcast.  Any WICEN member wish-
ing  to attend should contact the State Co-ordinator, John Howard
VK2AMH on (02) 477-6616, by letter to his Call Book  address,  or
the  WICEN  BBS  on  (02)  888-2763  before  4th  September.  The
"Hawkesbury Classic Paddle" is on the weekend of 22nd-23rd  Octo-
ber;  as  before,  Kevin VK2CKD is in charge, and he advises that
packet radio will  be  tried  for  this  event.   The  WICEN  Co-
ordinators  conference will be held at Bathurst on the weekend of
29-30th October.  The format will be primarily a training Seminar
with  emphasis  on Regional administration, and Operations with a
short business session.  All members are invited, and  they  will
be able to contribute towards its success.

Those regions wishing to have their activities publicised on this
broadcast are requested to get the details to the Publicity Offi-
cer,  Dave VK2KFU, by Thursday night at the latest.  Packet radio
is the preferred medium, to either VK2AAB or VK2OP BBS,  and  all
items  are promptly acknowledged.  Alternatively, you can use the
WICEN telephone BBS.

WICEN (NSW) Inc. operates a telephone BBS, and it  is  accessible
at  speeds from 300 to 14,400 bps on (02) 888-2763.  Brett VK2XMU
is the "Sysop", and all listeners are invited to  use  it.   Many
programs,  such  as "virus scanners" and "PGP", are available for
downloading.
