Repeater 3 VK7RNW Lonah has been misbehaving lately (a fault
has developed in it), by sending spurious noise
when operators are transmitting. The 7RAD Mt Duncan now VK7RMD control
unit has been improved and a one second pause
is required to reset the repeater between overs.
It is easy to see that the bands have begun to
improve as there were 196 incoming QSL cards.
The Radio Room is still progressing well and
donations are still being received, for which we
thank the donors. Frank Richards VK7ZFH, gave a black
and white television set, two pieces of test
equipment and some rolls of RTTY paper whilst
John Webster VK7KDR, gave a two-metre-high rack on
castors to house some of the equipment.
One of the repeaters on Mount Duncan VK7RAD/VK7RMD recently
had a very close shave when a large tree fell
barely missing the cable and guy wires. Fortunately,
only the wires suffered slight strain.
