    Sydney D-Star Clubs announced

*Date : 03 / 02 / 2008
*Author :* Phil Wait - VK2DKN*

The WIA has been advised by the Radio and Electronics Association of 
Southern Tasmania (REAST) that the club did not consider it had the 
resource at this time to establish a D-Star repeater to serve the Hobart 
area, and so Icom Australia has greed to donate a second D-Star repeater 
to the WIA to serve the large Sydney area.

The WIA, after consultation with Icom Australia has announced that two 
clubs have been identified as D-Star clubs to serve the Sydney area.

The two clubs are the Manly Warringah Radio Society (Incorporated), and 
the Illawarra Amateur Radio Society Inc.

WIA Director Phil Wait, in making the announcement said “I am delighted 
that these two clubs, with their locations providing exceptional 
coverage to the north and south of Sydney and with highly skilled and 
experienced members are supporting this project.”
