SUMMARY:AM and CW on Anzac Day
DESCRIPTION:Brief Description: Amateur Radio rememberance to those who
 served or are still serving\n\nDetailed Description: The AM and CW on
 Anzac Day event come about after a conversation between Lionel Veale ex
 Sgt Coastwatcher 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 10 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 operated 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 also operate on that day
 and its not a contest but simply make contact using old modes.\n
