For anyone who missed Bob's excellent intro to Linux and Amateur Radio, or for those who would like to revisit it, the presentation is now available (in PDF format) on the Tech Talks page.
Thanks again to Bob for a well-presented and humorous introduction to the topic. Hopefully it inspires a few folks to make use of those old laptops and PCs gathering dust in the shack!
The club is running a Foundation License Course in September.

Redcliffe Radio Club Wamuran Repeater Building Replacement. Reported by Peter VK4TAA.
The Club maintains 2 repeater sites, one at Mount Glorious (west of Brisbane) and one at Wamuran (northwest of Brisbane). Our Wamuran site is at the property of a past president and life member (Rick VK4HF) and, up until recently, resided in a small garden shed which was installed around 20 years ago. Over the years, it has had minor improvements -- a large Whirly Bird for our Queensland heat (see photo), and extra weights (an old steel wheel and some timber) on the roof to stop the roof from lifting during cyclones. Ha! This site contains 6m, 2m, 70cm and APRS amateur repeaters owned and maintained by the Redcliffe Radio Club.
It was that time of year again; time to brave the cold, wet weather of the Latrobe Valley in July for Gippstech 2016.
