Cardwell Gathering 2024
October Long Weekend 

The Cardwell Gathering will be taking place from Friday afternoon 
October 4th to Monday morning October 7th at the Meunga Creek Caravan Park near Cardwell FNQ.
This is a call to all Hams and support crews and anyone interested in taking up the 
hobby of Amateur Radio to spend a long weekend (or longer) in paradise.

Meunga Creek Caravan Park is located 4km north of Cardwell along the Bruce Highway 
at 12 Ellerbeck Road, Ellerbeck, Far North Queensland. 
The Park is nestled between the banks of Meunga Creek, the Great Northern Railway Line 
and luscious rainforest, offers a laid back retreat for bush camping with spacious sites 
that are great for self sufficient campers, or with power and water if you want to seriously glamp. 
The park is pet friendly and has a modern ablutions block with 4 hot showers complete with 
laundry with 2 washing machines and a dryer. 
Campfires are welcome (with fire pots supplied – BYO wood)
and each site features nice tall trees with varying degrees of sun and shade. 

It is only a 10 minute drive back into the Cardwell CBD, 5 minutes drive to the famous 
Cardwell Spa Pools and Forest Drive Creek Circuit. You get a choice of camp spot and 
required facilities upon arrival. Since the Rainforest is very close it is recommended 
that you bring a good supply of insect repellent, however that close proximity means 
there are great opportunities for bird & possum watching, native reptile spotting and if 
you are lucky you might get to spot the local croc in the creek.
Mobile phone service is excellent from both Telstra and Optus Sites on nearby Mulleys Hill 
and TV services also transmit out of Mulleys Hill.

Make sure you bring your own Comfy Chairs, standing whilst watching others engage in the 
lost art of Extreme Loafing could be very uncomfortable for you.
The proprietors of the Caravan Park value that same laid back lifestyle they offer during 
your stay, so for direct contact on the phone please call at the optimal time between 
4pm and 5pm daily. Otherwise text the contact number with a message with these details 
– Your Name, Your best Contact Number, Number of People you are booking in with, 
  Date and Time you are arriving, Date and Time you are leaving, 
  Site Requirements (unpowered, powered, powered and water).

- WICEN >> since 1946 << -
- WICEN NQ >> since 1971 << -
- Curly Wind Season is coming, so it's a good time to get prepared anyway.
  Have you checked your shack and your antenna to see how they will go during the next wet season ?
  Its always a good time to make stock up, charge batteries and get ready for action !
  Get on air - scare the spiders and lizards out of the rig and make sure your transciever works.

- WICEN NET
WICEN operators in Queensland hold a net every Sunday 
The nets happen on 
14125kHz from 8-00am (2200UTC)
7105kHz +/- QRM from 8-30am (2230UTC)

The net calls in regular stations and then invites new stations to call in.
If conditions are poor on 7MHz, net control might move to around 3600kHz
depending on how pliable the net operators are.
Mix it with other WICEN ops and call in on the net !!


Emergency Frequencies per IARU region - active during disasters
IARU Region 1 3760 7110 14300 18160 21360 kHz
IARU Region 2 3750 3985 7060 7240 7275 14300 18160 21360
IARU Region 3 3600 7110 14300 18160 21360
VK is in Region 3
Other frequencies could be activated on a per country basis -
stay tuned to the WIA News for activations.
