WIA visits the NZART AGM
Date : 09 / 06 / 2015
Author : Jim Linton - VK3PC
The close relationship between the Wireless Institute of Australia (WIA)
and the New Zealand Association of Radio Transmitters (NZART) includes an
alternative visit to each other’s annual general meeting.
This year it was the WIA’s turn to send representatives to Hamilton, New Zealand.
They were the WIA Vice President, Fred Swainston VK3DAC and Director
Rowan Dollar VK2OE.
Held on the Queen’s Birthday long-weekend (May 29 to June 1), there were
various presentations.
Rowan VK2OE attended forums on Amateur Digital Mobile Radio, an update on
the KiwiSAT project, and strategies to encourage new entrants into Amateur Radio.
Fred VK3DAC addressed the conference on the Australian experience of 10 years
of Foundation Licence, the changes including more portable activity,
the remake of the Licence Condition Determinations, the Spectrum Review and
the ANZAC 100 Commemoration.
There was an obvious strong relationship between emergency services and the
Amateur Radio community in New Zealand.
The Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Forum held its own AGM at the venue.
A report to the WIA Board included a range of mutual issues as a result of them
being discussed during the weekend.
The WIA representatives were invited to the NZART Council Meeting AGM weekend.
Led by the newly elected NZART President, Stuart Watchman ZL2TW, it further
considered the role of office staff, development strategies for the website,
and the future of Amateur Radio. The WIA and NZART representatives discusses
regional and global matters - with the IARU Region 3 triennial conference to be
held in Bali Indonesia in September, and the World Communications Conference,
in Geneva, Switzerland early November.
