Good evening all, We are still somewhat short of operators for the Car Rally next weekend. Saturday we have only just enough people for the Forest Stages, however we are short some 3-4 people for HQ. Note that HQ can operate in Shifts so even if you can only spare a few hours please put your hands up. Sunday we are short 3 people to do SOS points in the field and 4 in HQ. PLEASE, if you can help out it would be appreciated !! Please send an email to WICEN(a)crarc.org.au and I will get back to you. ...

by Phillip Longworth 14 Mar '25

14 Mar '25

Good evening all, The trip to Mt McDonald is on tomorrow (SATURDAY) with a meet time of 9.30 AM at Crusher Gate (Mt McDonald Road). John has the trailer / tower and UHF Antenna Array, Matt has the 2 Metre repeater and the Dualband Antenna and the Link Radio's, and I have the 70cm Repeater, 2 x UHF Commercial Channel repeaters, coax's, link antenna's and so forth. I cannot find the Diplexer to go on the Dual Band however so if anyone has one spare we could use it would be appreciated. Can someone bring a VNA or Antenna Analyser so we can check the antenna's, especially the link antenna's. Chat Channel for the trip out to site will be the temporary 2 metre antenna on Isaacs Ridge, please set your radio to 147.2000 MHz receive, 145.6000 MHz Transmit (-1.600 offset) and a CTCSS of 91.5 Hz for access. Chat channel for the trip home will be the Portable repeater on Mt McDonald, 147.125 MHz RX / 147.725 MHz TX (+ 600 offset). Please bring some tools and don't forget appropriate clothing and food / drink. Cheers, Phil VK1PL -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. www.avg.com
