[OZAPRS] VK3 APRS News

[Richard Hoskin]

Gday,

 

Here is the latest news from VK3

 

Frequency Change.

The first stage of the Frequency Change Project will commence on the
weekend
of the 14th of October.

All APRS digipeaters and IGates in the Gippsland area will change
frequency
from 144.900Mhz to 145.174Mhz.

 

The change means that anyone living in, or traveling to Gippsland (from
Warragul Eastwards) will have to change their radio's frequency to access
the APRS RF network.

 

The frequency change will be made to the following Digipeaters/IGates;
VK3RGI-1, VK3ZV-1, VK3REB-1, VK3VHF-1.

 

The second stage of the Frequency Change Project will commence for the
Greater Melbourne Area latter in the year.

 

 

IGate Offline.

The Central Victorian IGate (VK3JFK-10) will be out of action for a few
weeks due to a lightning strike to the phone lines.

300 odd phones and ADSL connections are off the air in the area.

 

This will not effect the APRS system in VK3 as most parts of the system
have
some redundancy.

 

 

Cheers

Richard

VK3JFK
