Club Activities & Events
We are currently carrying out a full refurbishment of the VK4RGA site at Kroombit Tops N.P.
This includes replacement of 2mtr antenna with a phased dipole array and a 16 element yagi for link to VK4RBU
We will also be bringing our 70cm link transmitter frequency to RBU into line with current ACMA band plan
Additional work will see the feeder cables for the 6mtr transmitter and APRS repeater upgraded to LDF4-50A
We hope, in the future to fit a 10mtr FM Gateway to the 6mtr repeater
