Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking.

Now is the time for us to be sharing Christmas wishes and for many this
will have a
special poignancy. There will be people missing from the festivities who
last year
shared our lives and who enjoyed the pleasure of company of their family and
friends. There will be those who are needed to work and support others in the
community and there are those who suffering the ravages that the weather has
wrought. To each and every one, we send best wishes and season’s greetings
with the
hope that next year, our lives will be enriched and comforted.

It isn’t usual to cast a sombre note but in the aftermath of Cyclone
Jasper, we are
seeing the results of extreme weather with people seeking to recover from the
various losses that they have suffered. Once again we have seen the media
reports of
communication failures with infrastructure damaged or inadequate for the
abnormal
weather. Some 20 years ago, the topic was how do we harden the mobile
network as the
reaction to terrorist attacks was foremost. These days it seems almost as
if we
should accept the inadequacy of the communications network instead of
seeking to
strengthen its capacity.

For those of us who have been spared the harshest winds and heaviest
rains, we can
seek the best comfort in the celebrations under wet or overcast skies with
the hope
that tomorrow the storms will abate and the DX will be 5&9.

I hope you find the presents you wanted beneath the tree and the people
you love
surround you.

From the QNews team, we wish you a Merry Christmas.

…..and that’s what I think.




I’m Geoff Emery VK4ZPP
