The World ATV QSO Party

This annual on-air gathering of those involved in the visual mode of
Amateur Television will be held on August 29-30.

All of it will be on the Melbourne-Geelong VK3RTV repeater and
streamed through the British Amateur Television Club.

This is the 4th annual World Digital ATV QSO Party which was
originally a part of the centenary for Amateur Radio Victoria.

The event is on Friday the 29th and Saturday the 30th August involves
anchors in England, the USA and Australia. Other countries are most
welcome to join.

Friday night will be VK-only including links to new digital repeater
VK5RDC at Port Pirie, and possibly joined by VK4RKC in Brisbane.

Australians can work through their local ATV repeaters and net
controllers are to provide the Internet links. Those ATVers not within
repeater range may pre-arrange to Skype-in direct to master controller
Peter VK3BFG.

On the Saturday there will be four net controllers - Peter VK3BFG, Don
KE6BXT, Art WR8DMC and for the first time Noel G8GTZ. International
repeaters are W6ATN, WR8ATV, GB3HV and possibly GB3SQ and GB3KM.

The event is basically a show and tell format that uses a combination
of direct inputs for those within range of ATV repeaters, and
contributions via Skype.
