   Invite another ham operator or operators to go out and activate with   
   you, perhaps even an overnight camp at a park on the final weekend,   
   which is the POTA support your parks weekend for October.   
      
   Team up with someone who is not licensed. This may be the trigger that   
   ignites their desire to become licensed.   
      
   There will be a special participation certificate for activators and   
   hunters who make POTA contacts during this special POTA event.   
      
   For more information contact me, Marty VK4KC or Alan VK1AO our email   
   addresses are available at QRZ.com   
      
   This is Marty VK4KC saying POTA ON!

   Defence is looking for a cost-effective way to use Starlink to improve   
   the quality of life of personnel serving on its roughly 50 Australian   
   naval vessels.   
      
   The project, which is expected to run for about two years, would cover   
   the acquisition, integration, and installation of new hardware,   
   software, and network infrastructure.   
      
   The enhanced quality-of-life internet rollout" program aims to   
   upgrade the Australian Navys current on-board systems by providing   
   enhanced ship-to-shore connectivity for personnel at sea,   
   transforming their ability to maintain contact with their families,   
   community, and administrative resources while deployed.   
      
   Also under exploration is an internet service that that can support   
   content from platforms such as Netflix and Foxtel, though not live   
   streaming.

   New youth have joined our wonderful hobby!   
      
   A couple weekends ago, A R N S W and Waverly Amateur Radio Club held a   
   training course at Dural. A total of 14 people attended, with one   
   being an upgrade.   
      
   What is extra special about this course is 6 attendees were YOTA, one   
   being 10 years old, another 9 and our youngest attendee is 7 years   
   old!   
      
   We had a 100% pass rate, which means all of our YOTAs are now new   
   members of the hobby! Congratulations and welcome aboard.   
      
   I will write more for AR Magazine.   
      
   Now over to the RSGB, who are looking for the next volunteer   
   Youth Champion.   
      
   This could be one role or split between people who focus on different aspects   
   of it.   
      
      
   The Youth Champion will work closely with RSGB Board Liaison, Ben Lloyd, G W   
   4 B M L and the RSGB Outreach Team to ignite interest, develop links with   
   schools, universities, Scouts, Guides and the general public.   
      
      
   They will also help to support current young amateurs and motivate them to   
   try new things within amateur radio after they gain their licence.

   Girl Guides in Sri Lanka got some guidance recently from the   
   Radio Society of Sri Lanka, which helped them get on the air.   
      
   The International Girl Guide Camp left a lasting mark on two thousand   
   Girl Guides from Sri Lanka's nine provinces and showcased the power of   
   amateur radio for them all. The Radio Society of Sri Lanka was there   
   in Ceylon to conduct demonstrations and to help the girls' hands-on   
   experience with radio.   
      
   Society volunteers ensured there would be radio capability by setting   
   up for HF, VHF and EchoLink communications. The radio society   
   considered it a milestone for the camp with the Sri Lanka Girl Guides   
   Association getting on the air with an amateur radio club licence of   
   its own,  the Girl Guides were calling as 4 S 7 GGA.
