DESCRIPTION:Brief Description: AM and CW on Anzac Day\n\nDetailed
 Description: AM and CW on Anzac Day\nClub: Townsville Amateur Radio Club
 Callsign: VK4MIK\nState: National\nBrief Description : Amateur Radio
 remembrance to those who served or are still serving\n\nFull Details :
 The AM and CW on Anzac Day event come about after a conversation between
 Lionel Veale ex Sgt Coast-watcher during WW2 and Mike Patterson VK4MIK -
 I served in the RAN for 21years. Lionel used radios to transmit coded
 intelligence by CW mode.\nI thought it would be a good way us as
 Amateurs to salute those who served or are still serving by using the
 old radio modes of AM and CW on Anzac Day and if possible at ex Defence
 sites. Many Radio Amateurs served Australia.\nThis event has operated
 for well over 18 years and has proved very successful as many discovered
 AM mode and used it for the first time and others used home brew CW
 rigs.\nIn Queensland the Townsville Amateur Radio Club operates as Net
 Control from their Club Rooms\, an ex WW2 Command Bunker.\nThe net
 operates on 7.125 AM all day with many using old radios. It also
 commences at 0500 on 3.599 CW then to AM on 3.600AM.\nStations across
 Australia operate on this day and its not a contest but simply make
 contact using old modes.\nNew Zealand AM radio group have also expressed
 interest after contacts last year so listen out for our ANZAC partners.
