[OZAPRS] Repeater list ?

[Darryl Smith]

The ACMA is the best source... If you want accurate listings of the Lat/Lon of all the repeaters, you could do what I did once... 

Write a script to query the ACMA web site for the location of each repeater. Those results are highly accurate.

About 10 years back I wanted to the Lat/Lon of every postcode in the country. So I grabbed the postcode list from AustPost, and fed this into a search on the ACMA database by postcode. This returned a number of fixed licenses. I picked one at random and I queried the database for the Lat/Lon. Worked fairly well. Good enough for my purposes, and it was a heap cheaper than the $2K or so that AustPost were charging at the time.

Great idea Gary. I am sure interest would be much wider than this group, too.

Maybe you can sell the result to the WIA ;) or, more realistically, get it up on a web site somewhere so it is available to all.
