of Australia. They currently have 2 issues online
https://vkradioamateurs.org/qtc-e-magazine/ 

I have been reading the K9YA Telegraph for several years. It started in
2004, by the Robert F. Heytow Memorial Radio Club and has published its
general interest amateur radio eZine-read by hams in more than 100
countries. http://www.k9ya.org/index.php/k9ya-telegraph/about
