Next Wednesday, the 11th March will be the 110 anniversary of the meeting in Sydney of the Experimenters of the day who were trying to get a better deal from the authorities. From that meeting grew the Wireless Institute of New South Wales, later the NSW Division. Over time the other Divisions and the WIA developed. The date of 11th March 1910 - through the W I A makes it the oldestNational Amateur Radio Society in the world. Amateur Radio New South Wales is the name adopted by the former NSW Division to avoid confusion with the WIA and is proud to be able to trace its origin back to that first meeting. ARNSW will be holding a small celebration at the March Trash & Treasure being held at Dural on Sunday the 29th of March Tim VK2ZTM Wireless Institute of Australia
