Belmont 9875 is the Wellington node of the National System, and provides coverage of most of the greater Wellington region, from Wanganui in the north-west, and into the South Island to the south.

Belmont is also the hub for the National System backbone. Dedicated UHF link systems connect the Belmont 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.)
