RTTY Digital Journal in new hands
---------------------------------
The RTTY Digital Journal has been sold to the American Digital
Radio Society (ADRS). This society has made a statement of its
aims, as below -
The principal goal of the American Digital Radio Society
is to advance digital technology as it applies to Amateur
Radio and to promote the wisest use of the digital portion
of the amateur radio spectrum. The ADRS best serves the
global fraternity by enhancing the opportunities for all who
chose to explore the digital modes.
The editor is unchanged, being Dale Sinner W6IWO, but both the
publisher, Jim Mortenson N2HOS, and Director of Marketing, Jay
Townsend, WS7I are new to the publication.
All the regular features are continuing, so really only the
ownership has changed. It is seen as the voice of the digital
radio fraternity, may it flourish and be heard.

Some news from VK6
------------------
It was sad to note, the resignation of RON,VK6RF from the
group. Ron has been a long time member of W.A.A.D.C.A , a
supporter of R.T.T.Y. and the sunday morning broadcasts. It is
hoped you continue to listen , and report in on occasions
please RON.
A new PACKET RADIO user port is to be installed at WIRELESS
HILL PARK. The operating frequency will be 144.825. This will
supplement the users on this channel , as well as provide
better traffic loading between channels.
R.T.T.Y. MAIL BOX
------------------
The Technical Officer JOE VK6ZTN still has to find the time
from his busy schedule to modify the fm 880 transceiver for
the R.T.T.Y. mailbox to become operational.
Finally a big THANK YOU TO PHIL VK6ADF .
Phil has had to resign from the committee of W.A.D.C.A. due to
other committments , Phil has been a tireless worker
for the group . your absence will be surely be missed Phil.
