Vandalism at Australian amateur radio club

/

Around the weekend of 17 November 2013, considerable damage was done to the club rooms of the Summerland Amateur Radio Club at Lismore.

Club President Ross Dowse on VK2WI News reported much equipment was stolen and a major inspection and clean-up has been held during the past days.

Club activities were put on hold until the general meeting planned for Sunday the 1st of December.

You should be on the lookout for strange offers or possible unusual activity with the radio equipment. You should inform the Summerland club executives or the authorities of any information you may become aware of.

It is only a few weeks since Summerland club member John VK2JWA was attacked by intruders in his home, which they subsequently set on fire causing considerable damage.
