WICEN on STANDBY
04-02-2013 20:45 WICEN has been returned to Standby. Peter Weeks VK3YZP is operating the night shift at Ovens tonight, but that is our only commitment at present. However, there are concerns that hot weather later in the week may cause the fires to threaten Dinner Plains, particularly as there is no rain forecast in the next 7 days. Therefore those who have indicated they are available have been asked to hold themselves in readiness to deploy to Ovens at short notice.
