SHIPWRECK COAST DX INTERNATIONAL GROUP

ACBRO Home Page

......affiliated with

PO Box 1380
WARRNAMBOOL VIC 3280

Darryl, 43 SC 01 and Steve, 43 SC 02 are the founders of this group after both of them played around with the idea of starting a group of their own. The name of the club originates from the fact their coastline in Victoria has seen more than 80 shipwrecks dating back as far as 1521AD.

The group was officially declared on the 30th of June 1996 and in the short time since then has had about 250 members from all over the world including USA, Brazil, Canada, Germany, France, Netherlands, England, Spain, New Zealand, South Africa, Finland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. This group has certainly worked hard to build its membership in such a short space of time.

Membership into the group is free. All that is asked of anyone is that they forward $2.00 to help with postage, though this is not compulsory, it is appreciated.

Upon becoming a member, members receive a colour certificate with a unit number, member's listing and invitations for friends to join as well as for other clubs within Australia and overseas. Member listings are updated every 3 months.

The Group have a newsletter which includes competitions as well as news-worthy items. Social outings are certainly on their calendar in the form of barbecues and informal meals.

The overall aim of the Group is to promote goodwill and friendship with operators in Australia and abroad and is promoted in part by the group's QSL cards and in a particular a postcard describing "Victoria's Shipwreck Coast" which new members also receive in their membership package.

All correspondence to the Group can be addressed to the above PO Box marked:-
Attention Darryl 43 SC 01.
