Message Handling

Audio Files

WICEN has a proven procedure for Sending and Receiving messages.
During training we practice the procedures to ensure correct speed and uniformity of process for operators.
Below are 2 audio files which demonstrate the correct format for message handling.
The first file is the SENDING methodology - you will hear the procedure, with acceptable speed, for instigating a WICEN transmission. [This audio is assuming a response and agreement to 'Send Over']
The second file is a SEND and RESPONSE simulation, to hear the procedure and speed.

These 2 audio links simulate messages using the appropriate language and techniques to assist you with speed of sending and written completion of a message form.

ENVIS Dipole

Setting up the ENVIS Dipole

Detailed notes on how this antenna is deployed.
Regular training sessions are held to ensure members can complete this task.
Members should have this resource in their pack so they can deploy quickly and efficiently for HF operations.

Bundaberg Amateur Radio Club

Bundaberg Amateur Radio Club sponsors and finances the WICEN group.
When students train with the club for the Foundation Licence they are exposed to the WICEN ideology and many join us as trained operators.
