   Project launched by the Radio Society of Great Britain.   
      
   The initiative was introduced last May to loan equipment to schools to   
   enable students to feel comfortable with making QSOs.   
      
   Now it is back as the schools and colleges reopen in September. The   
   society's Outreach Team is working with teachers and, in partnership   
   with the Radio Communications Foundation, they will pay licence exam   
   fees for nine teachers who wish to set up ham radio clubs at their   
   schools.  Additional details are available from Chris Aitken MM0WIC,   
   the youth chair, who can be reached at youthchampion dot school at rsgb   
   dot org dot uk.

   KICKER: GETTING A READ ON AMATEUR RADIO IN NEW ZEALAND   
      
   NEIL/ANCHOR: We hams know that there are many ways to make contact   
   across an ocean. One radio operator in New Zealand, however, has   
   succeeded in getting the job done without even going on the air. We   
   hear about him from Jim Meachen ZL2BHF.   
      
   JIM:  Greg Dirk Van Der Reis, ZL1GUD, doesn't just have a good read on   
   amateur radio in New Zealand - he produces a good read too: As of this   
   month, his free independent e-zine, the New Zealand and Australian   
   Amateur Radio Magazine, has published its third edition electronically.   
   Although it was originally intended primarily for amateur radio   
   readership in New Zealand and Australia, it is now being downloaded in   
   parts of Europe and in Greg's native South Africa, where he began his   
   radio life in 1979 as a CB'er and later a licensed amateur.   
      
   A prolific writer as well as a reader, Greg recognised early on that   
   hams benefit from good communication in between time at the workbench   
   or making contacts. He told Newsline that his electronic magazine is   
   the outgrowth of work he first did for a local club's magazine after   
   moving to New Zealand two years ago. His daytime business, The Ham   
   Shack, sells amateur radio equipment for the home, portable and   
   disaster preparedness while keeping him in touch with what hams need   
   and the direction trends are going. He sees POTA and SOTA as big growth   
   areas and his pages provide coverage on those topics, as well as   
   personal profiles, DXpeditions and international events.   
      
   Greg told Newsline that the next edition will have a subscription   
   button but until then, anyone reading this month's issue, can email him   
   directly to be added to the distribution list. See the link to the   
   magazine in the text version of this week's Newsline script at   
   arnewsline.org   
      
   In an email to Newsline, he wrote: [quote]  "This fills a gap and I   
   would like it to bridge the amateur radio communities in New Zealand   
   and Australia. I hope to create joint radio events between the two   
   countries. We are only 3 hours apart by air." [endquote] Now the two   
   countries are barely a few downloads apart -- and the same is true for   
   the rest of the world beyond.   
      
   This is Jim Meachen ZL2BHF.
