Strictly speaking it's not the right way to go but it's done and nobody bats an eyelid. Chances are very high that using your own callsign-SSID would never be challenged. <br> <br> I doubt the ACMA would go looking for you, if my experience is anything to go by. I reported an unlicenced tx operating on a local ABC FM frequency and because the location was a few hundred metres outside the published coverage area for the ABC station the ACMA wasn't interested in investigating.<br> <br> A thought .... Is the RC financial enough to take out an amateur licence so the wx station can be operated under the club's own callsign?<br> <br> Ray vk2tv<br> </font><br> <div class="gmail-m_1838172675066373551moz-cite-prefix">On 18/3/19 7:35 am, Max Bainrot wrote:<br> </div> <blockquote> <div>Hi folks</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Got a quick query about wx stations at locations away from home.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>What would be the best way to go about setting up a wx station for a local rc club of mine in terms of licensing?</div> <div><br> </div> <div>I’m assuming because it’s a broadcast only contraption a repeater license is not applicable so probably best/easiest to chuck it under my ham call but still wanted to pick the hive mind incase there’s a better solution 🙂</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Can’t use cellular data as there is a nearby radio telescope that’s centered on 850 MHz (bw of +/- 30?
