Some news.

Some of you may have noticed in this last month 2 new Digis on the VK5 map. We now have VK5REP-1 at Cowell serving the central and northern Eyre peninsula. Also VK5RMN-1 serving the mid north from the Bluff near Pt Pirie. 
VK5REP becomes an extension of the Eyre peninsula network. VK5RMN is the begining of a Northern VK5 Zone soon to be joined by VK5RLH at Lochiel. There are also plans afoot to install a Digi at Mt Arden in time. 

VK5REP appears to have excellent coverage and we have allready seen good mobile posits via 5RMN make their way into the Internet feeds via REP and BRC.
In time it is hoped to serve the Northern areas with a separate Igate feed as it is essentially a new Zone.

VK5 now consists of Zones in Adelaide, Riverland, Eyre Peninsula, Mid North and Mt Gambier which relates closer to the VK3 network than anything.
If you are driving in the Far North around Woomera and in particular Roxby then you may well find Michael VK5MW running an Igate from his QTH in Roxby.
