Introduction
The Border Ranges Amateur Radio Club was incorporated in 2009, after formation earlier in the year. The club draws its members from the towns of Warwick, Stanthorpe and Tenterfield, and the surrounding areas in northern NSW and southern Queensland.
Our Clubhouse is in Stanthorpe, at Eduardo Verri Park which we lease from the Southern Downs Regional Council.
Club repeaters are at the following locations.
Acacia Plateau VK2RAP 147.275 MHz + 600
Amiens VK4RMM 147.125 MHz + 600
Mt. MacKenzie VK2RMM 147.375 MHz + 600 Tone 123 Hz
All repeaters are linked on 70 cm - talk to one and you talk to them all. IRLP and Echolink are both accessible from any repeater.
Both Acacia Plateau and Mt. MacKenzie have APRS repeaters to cover the New England Highway.
Meetings
As of the beginning of 2013, we are trialling having a formal meeting every 2 months, starting with the AGM and an ordinary meeting to follow at the beginning of February.
Every other month will be a practical meeting of some sort, to be decided at the previous formal meeting.
All meetings commence with a BBQ starting at 12 noon with the formal meeting starting at 1:30 pm AEST.
All meetings will be the first Saturday of the month - unless there is a clash with something, in which case the meeting will be postponed. Those on the email list will be advised and our web site will notify others.
Given that our club is spread over considerable distances, - an hour from Warwick or Tenterfield, we will have to have a different organisation to our city cousins.
Club Activities & Events
Our main community involvement to date, has been to provide the communications for a community motor bike rides held yearly in the area.
Members of the club are happy to be involved in other community events such as JOTA, and anything else that we are asked to help with.
