Not by a long shot .. the americans beat us by years in that regard ...
I remember the controversy caused by the forst 'commercial' use of
'amateur' packet technology .. that was (I think) only a year after
the birth of ax.25 .. probably about the same time WICEN were first
approached about the use of packet .. but I'm letting my cynicism show
again ..

Sounds like my problem here, except that there's no cliffs to climb within
miles! Mine has a different problem - shoulder strap's OK, but I murdered the
antenna years ago, so it's external-only for me.

Gawd! Week-long exercises! I'm having trouble finding a free day at the moment,

Well, it's not commercial in the sense that there is a retail chain selling
it, but the authors (a couple of German amateurs) charge money for it (all
proceeds go to the German packet network), and do not make the source code
available.  Also, AAPRA are (theoretically) the sole Australian agents.

I was afraid somebody would say something like that :-)

Aside from the obvious things, like exercises and activations, what sort of
time is spent doing training and stuff like that. I'm assuming that the
exercised aren't the only time that WICEN gets together!

Why not contact your local WICEN people Carl? We are here and ready to answer
questions that you may have and how you could help.

There are ways that you could be involved in WICEN that would not conflict 
withy your SES activities.

Contact Ken, VK1KEN or myself for information. Information about the ACT WICEN
has been on the local broadcasts before, but I will ask for it to be repeated.
