[Waverley ARS] Wilcome to Oz

[Gordon & Kizny]

The other news is of course that overseas amateurs will now be able to bring 
their hand-helds with them and use our repeaters without going through any 
licensing rigmarole...at least that's as I read it.

I have enjoyed roaming up and down the ZL countryside chatting to local hams 
using the VK slash "Portable ZL" callsign.

Be prepared for some strange accints on the air - I look forward to 
extending the courtesies that I have received as a visitor.

It also appears that we will be able to operate in a number of other 
countries a lot easier, too.
