Good morning all,

Start of SS1 - Meet Time 6.00 AM @ Cotter Pub Car Park - estimated finish approx 11.30 AM (will be on 439.925 MHz Portable Repeater, VHF as Back-up) Start of SS2 - Meet Time 6.00 AM @ Tidbinbilla Lane (Near Discovery Drive entry to Tracking Station) - estimated finish approx 12.00 Noon (will be on 147.125 MHz Portable Repeater, UHF as Back-up) Stop of SS3/6 - Meet Time 9.30 AM@ Kowen Road gate - estimated finish approx 6.15 PM (will be on 439.950 MHz Isaacs Ridge Repeater, VHF as Back-up) Stop of SS4/7 - Meet Time 9.00 AM@ Kowen Road gate - estimated finish approx 6.30 PM (Located on Sparrow Road off Kings Hwy) (will be on 146.900 MHz Bulls Head Repeater, VHF as Back-up)

The Sunday stages we need people for are...

If you don't have gear then please let us know and we'll arrange a loan.

Just on that,

I received something similar last week supposedly from Michael VK1XYZ. It was pretty obvious as it referred to the 2021 NatCap rally which was run in the 1st half of last year.

Like always, read carefully before ever clicking a link !

Hi all, Please be wary. This morning I received an email that purported to be from Phil via the Wicen list, with a link to a document on OneDrive. It didn't seem quite right when I first saw it on my mobile so I didn't follow the link. When I looked at it later on my desktop, I could see that it clearly WASN'T from Phil at all and hadn't actually come through this list at all.

It seems the scammer may have run through the list archives, or gotten access to someone's email account, and has extracted a previous email that was from Phil to use as cover for the scam email. If they're targeting me, they've probably targeted others on this list too. I'm sure we're all pretty switched on and don't need to be reminded, but just in case: the scammers are very clever, please be very careful to make sure the email you receive really is from who you think it is from before following any links.

Conrad.
