710 is our major 2 metre repeater. It covers an impressively large area, from near Wanganui in the Northwest, and well into the South Island to the south. During enhanced propagation conditions stations from both Auckland and Christchurch have worked into the site, distances well over 500km in both directions. The repeater provides excellent portable and mobile service across Wellington, despite the hilly nature of the region.

9875 is also located at Belmont , and is our local node of the National System. The coverage by 9875 is similar to that of 710, providing useful portable and mobile access to the National System for the region. Dedicated UHF link systems connect the Belmont National System Node with others;
  • Mt Egmont, (to the North),
  • Nelson, (to the South-West), via Saddle Hill
  • Christchurch, (to the South) via Blue Duck.
(A new link into the Wairarapa area is proposed, and this will connect with the National System via Belmont.)
