He wouldn't need to listen to Bussleton if he was in Bunbury. There is a Bunbury repeater!

When I Was in Margaret river, Couldnt pick up the Chapman hill repeater even on a scanner connected to a 13 meter hight TV antenna pointed towards it. Last i heard of it was going under repair.

Bunbury is Good for VK6 but very little.

Echolink, yes, i was at my Foundation licence course and i was givin a breif idea what echo link is.
Just wanted to clear it up now, Becuase i live so far away in a misrable town with hill in the way, does this mean that repeater stations in perth fitted with echolink on them allows me to dial in to them from my computer?
In a word, yes. Well connect to them rather than dial in to them. Not only in Perth. Once licensed and validated you can connect to other repeaters and individuals worldwide from your computer.

At times I have had a echolink link operating from Bunbury so I could connect to a link in Rockingham and talk to mates there while driving around town. Since that node closed down I have not bothered so much lately.

Sorry haha , "Dial in" Figure of speech.
