Just listening tonight hearing poor Claude deal with the halfwits during the callback. Like I've said before, it was much of the reason why I barely use CB anymore and went to amateur...

Hi Gavin
Yeah I know what you mean.
It gets pretty crazy during the callback.
Is it true that there is a thing called a direct link - to the repeater?
And if there is I wonder why Claude doesn't use it.
Just last night I was listening to Ch 8 at around 2145, someone named grumpy copped a beatdown in Girrawhen for being "unproffessional" on the radio. It sounded pretty full on.

Hi Bill,
Take what I hear on all the UHF CB repeaters with a pinch of salt, and normally stay well clear of there and stick to simplex. Another one of the reasons I am currently studying for an amateur radio licence.
Interesting to see you are in Koondoola, I am also.
You can often find me monitoring UHF CH 14 of an evening, look me up!

A direct link into a repeater do they exist ???
Yes, It is when there is a normal repeater (in this case uhf cb).
Where someone sets up a repeater for uhf cb, tx8 rx38......this is a normal uhf cb repeater.
The direct link is another repeater in very close range to the original repeater (being ch8 uhfcb as above) where the rx frequency would be a commercial freq, and the tx would be ch38 uhfcb.
The point of the commercial freq is so that no-one can access the direct link "repeater" without permission of the licensee of that freq.
Then all you have to do is get a commercial radio and set the channel up like this: tx-commercial freq rx-ch8 uhfcb
Therefore the direct link receives the commercial transmission and re-transmits it on the uhf cb repeaters rx channel which causes people to be dumped on or squashed ect ect.
I can make you a picture and email it to you if you still require this and the above doesnt make sense.
They are always being used in sydney.

They used to have a website which I upgraded and maintained for them a couple of years back, but the domain expired and I went off air for quite a while and had no contact with Claud or anyone else.
It used to be at www.uhfwa.org.au but the site has now disappeared.
edit: looks like they have renewed the domain but there's actually no webpage there!
