News Update 21 March 2010

Replacement of 2M. Repeater (VK7RTV) Antenna

                           Today, with the assistance of Ivan VK7XL, Neil VK7ZNX, Graham VK7FGAA and Tony VK7AX,
the top 2M. antenna at the Gawler Repeater Site, was replaced with a new one.
The noise which had plagued the repeater ever since its commissioning has been traced to a faulty antenna or feeder.

Initial reports following the replacement of the suspected faulty antenna, indicate a distinct improvement in performance
of the the 2M. Voice Repeater.

The opportunity to install an additional 2M antenna at the same level was taken and this antenna will be used for the
2M. SSTV Gateway which it is anticipated will become operational from the Gawler Site in the next few days.
This antenna will be used as a standby antenna for the 2M. Repeater.

It would be appreciated if users could check the performance of the 2M Voice Repeater and report their findings to the Club.

< Sewing Circle Net Meet The Voice BBQ >

The Sewing Circle Net "Meet the Voice BBQ" is set for Sunday 18 March 2012, at Ross.

Full details are available at the Sewing Circle Net website - http://sewingcircle.org -.

This year will see, along with the famous raffle and car boot sale, the addition of an auction of quality equipment.

As in previous years, all funds raised at the BBQ event will go towards repeater maintenance.

The Sewing Circle Net is looking for suitable items that you are able to donate for the auction.

If you have any suitable equipment, that you are able to donate to the auction, take it to the REAST club rooms

on the domain, as they have made a collection space available.

Alternatively, you can contact Vince, VK7VH via -vk7vh at hotmail dot com-.

Just let us know a description of what you have available and we will put the description,

along with a thank you by-line, your name and call sign, into our web page.

If you are unable to attend the Ross event, we can arrange for someone to deliver it to Ross.

We encourage you to make a big effort and consider what equipment you have that you no longer use,

and donate it to the auction. Remember, every dollar raised goes towards repeater maintenance around Tasmania.

So, have a look about the shack and select an item or two that you would be willing to donate to the auction.

This is your chance to give something back to amateur radio in Tasmania.

Check out the -sewingcircle.org- website for the list of items that have been donated (so far) to the auction.

Thank you to all that have made a donation. What do you have that you are able to donate?

Make sure you set aside Sunday 18 March 2012 and organise to bring yourself and all your family to this great event.

It is a fun day and is an ideal opportunity for you to catch up or meet new people that you may have only spoken to on air.

This year, the raffle prize will be the latest model FDC dual band VHF/UHF hand held 5 watt radio.

Your $5.00 entry fee to the BBQ event will include 2 free tickets in the raffle.

Extra tickets will be available for Just $1.00 each or 3 for $2.00.

The car boot sale is being organised by Ray Smith, VK7VKV.

Load up your vehicle with all those goodies and bring them to the Ross BBQ event.

If past years are anything to go by, the car boot sale will see many bargains available and some very brisk trade.

Should you require any information, send Ray an email - vk7vkv at hotmail dot com -.

If you need more information, check out the sewingcircle.org website, come up on the nightly Sewing Circle Net,

held from 5pm to 6pm on 3.590MHz or send an email to -vk7vh at hotmail dot com.

From Vince VK7VH, Don VK7AY and all the crew on the Sewing Circle Net.
