New work on our VK2RBM Repeater

All our repeaters at Lawson 70 cm, 2m and 6 m are working very well at the moment. The 6 m repeater on 53.875 MHz is up and running but requires an extra cavity filter in band pass mode. There is a bit of noise through the audio path that should be cured with the installation of the 4th cavity filter. I had a spare 75 MHz (4 m) Band Cavity that I was given years ago by and old deceased friend and was collecting dust at home. I donated my old 4 m band cavity to BMARC which I modified into a 50 MHz (6 m) Filter in the way of some internal modifications and an extension which included TIG welding 150 mm round aluminium. Rhod VK2TTL and I will be going up to Lawson to complete the project shortly.

The repeater committee is also busy with upgrading the repeater controllers. Jamie VK2TIM and I are working towards updating equipment the repeater controller facilities. VK2HO

Dear Members

After negotiations with the VRA we have secured the use of the Club Facilities at the VRA Building.
We have permission to do what we need to do .
Access, antennas, Radio operating room, workshop/test room and more.
We need to put together working teams to get started with the Facilities for the Club and help to build and maintain VRA requirements.

All hands on deck. Let's do it.
Big thanks to the exec and committee members for job well done.
