Well its a shame that i offered a prime location on my tower at Walliston and was ready to install it yesterday when at the last minute they decided on a better location.......Dont think it is any better!meg wrote:Hear hear - it's pretty much unreadable in Mt Helena which is unusual for the "hills" repeater locations.

Think its time to get the antennas up higher!

Hmm, I thought it was at Wallyston based on the chatter that I have heard on the 2m band sometime last week whilst scanning around.VK6FZUK wrote:Well its a shame that i offered a prime location on my tower at Walliston and was ready to install it yesterday when at the last minute they decided on a better location.......Dont think it is any better!meg wrote:Hear hear - it's pretty much unreadable in Mt Helena which is unusual for the "hills" repeater locations.

You'd need some pretty good filtering to filter the beacon out from the D-Star and analogue repeater inputs.ConstableCare wrote: Wonder why it didn't go there?

Yeah, it's Maz. I believe the new antenna has already landed so it's probably worth seeing how that goes first. I think Duncan said 7.2dB That should give an ERP of (gets calculator out.... tap tap) quite a bit more signal :-"ConstableCare wrote:Wonder why it didn't go there?

It will be at Mazenod in the new year when access to the site can be arranged and other infrastructure preparations made. At the moment it's somewhere where it can be quickly reset or turned off if it goes berserk and starts eating peopleConstableCare wrote:Anyway, more importantly where is it exactly?

Sounds like they need to be run inside some anaconda.Zebedee wrote:Yep.
There's been a bit of a setback in the form of "canine vs feedline" - the feedline lost.
It'll be back on air once the feed-lines can be repaired
