[OZAPRS] Cabbage Tree Mountain Digi

Sun Nov 4 09:01:38 EST 2007

Hi Shaun,

I think the 2RGL site is pretty right for gear - the GLARC have an 828 and
Tiny-2 that will be used for that site, re-using the old packet digi
equipment from the site.    The digi for Newcastle is sitting on my bench
here (FM828 + Tiny-2)

Having said that, (and this goes to anyone able to help), with the number
of
digi's that are now getting the go-ahead from various clubs for
installation
around the state, we could really use a few TNC's....

If anyone has any old (working) MFJ-1270/1274 or PacComm Tiny-2 TNC's
laying around that they would be willing to donate for use in APRS
digipeaters in NSW we'd love to hear from you.   

We have a few FM-828's kicking around, the only other 'expense' we will
have
is crystals for these units.   I've run out of 145.175 rocks, but luckily
some of the clubs that are helping out with the digi's are happy to bear
the
cost of a set of rocks for their local digi.

Any help from anyone is appreciated :-)

Regards,
Geoff  VK2XJG

Geoff,

Do you need anything to help facilitate the Cabbage Tree site?  I have 
some bits and pieces that could be of assistance and am more than happy to

donate to a Digi that will cover where I travel.  I may even be able to 
offer my labour is the timing is right.

[OZAPRS] VK2 Network News

For those in the Sydney region, the VK2RSW-1 digi is now back on air 
serving
as a Fill-In digi for the West.  This digi only supports  WIDE1-1, so 
users
in the Sydney region should seriously be considering updating their path 
to
remove RELAY from now onwards.

We have had a confirmation from Michael VK2ZEN that the site in Newcastle 
is
ready to go.  A new digi just outside of Maitland will be VK2ZEN-1 and
hopefully be on air within weeks.

Further north, I had a phone call with the Great Lakes ARC and they have
confirmed that are more than happy to install a digi at their CabbageTree
site.  This will be VK2RGL-1 and will hopefully be up and running before
Christmas.

Things are definitely moving in the network now :-)

Folks,

Here is an update on teh status of the network changes in VK2....

WEBSITE:  The NSW APRS website  http://vk2.aprs.net.au  is now up and
running with a new look, and updated information.  The site will continue
to be updated as things progress and change.

VK2JPJ-1:   The New-N Firmware is ready to be installed, we are only
waiting on site access at the moment. As soon as we can arrange access
with the site owner the digi will be upgraded and the system given a
health-check.
This is expected to happen next week.   After the upgrade the callsign
will be VK2US-1.

VK2RAG-1:   The new firmware has been prepared and will be installed on
the next visit by the site owner.  This will also hopefully be in the next
week.

VK2AMW-1:   Same story - the new firmware will be installed on the next
site visit by the owner, however this could still be in a few weeks.

VK2RSW-1:   This digi will be returning to air in the next week as a
Fill-In digipeater servicing Western Sydney.

NEWCASTLE:  We are in discussions with a few local parties and we believe
we have secured a site for a new digipeater to cover the Newcastle area.
This site will have good access back towards VK2RAG-1.
Watch this space for developments :-)

GREAT LAKES:  We are currently having discussions with the GLARC regarding
the installation of a digipeater at the VK2RGL repeater site
(CabbageTree).  Things are looking promising for a new digi here, which
will overlap the coverage from Newcastle.

Regards,
Geoff  VK2XJG
