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


I’ve mentioned the weather forecasts a few times, recently. The good news
turned out
that the excess rain did not eventuate in my part of the world and Winter
joined us
in an appropriate way. Slowly the underfoot is returning to a firm
consistency
without the squelching sound as one walks across the lawn. The deficit, in
my mind,
is that the colder mornings are demanding more bedding to keep the twinges
out of
the body.

Then with sunny days with blue skies, there is not much cause for complaint.

As I have touched on various topics relative to strengthening amateur
radio, there
has been a thought or two rattling around.
When we look at organisations that have maintained their presence in the
community,
it occurs to me that they have retained the spirit of their foundations
and then
built upon the strengths they find in a developing world. It is obvious
that we
radio amateurs are involved in activities that predate each of us in their
foundation but the way they are now practised has been an evolution.

People are variously finding life somewhat more difficult at the moment
with local
factors and international ones signalling how important stability is to
our lives.
My parents lived through what is called the Great Depression and many of
the lessons
they passed on have helped me in my life. As life started to right itself
from the
tide of financial disaster, the world found itself embroiled in the Second
World War
and then followed the Korean conflict.

There came the Vietnam War and recession as late as 30 odd years ago but
still our
society continued to grow. This suggests to me that as hard as times are
for many
people now, we can and we will endure and share good times again. It has
happened
before and with the lessons of yesterday we can make things better in the
future.

What I am suggesting is that there is still the opportunity and the time
remains
right for building our activities and our involvement in our communities.
Obviously
the collective voices of clubs will be heard more clearly than the lone
operator but
where there is no club that one voice has its own resonance to carry the
message.

Where should each of us pitch our interests to have the most effect? That is
something that local circumstances really guide us to and once we
recognise the role
we can follow through in spreading the message of community support,
individual
involvement and good social experiences through out club involvements.
What we
perhaps need is a sense of direction, of leadership so that we can
structure our
plan in a way that is known to work. Do we have that leadership or can you
provide
some of the skills we need? This is an opportunity that looks too good to
miss.

I’m Geoff Emery VK4ZPP and that’s what I think….how about you?
