Mt Studholme

General Comments :

We have had some reports of Un Authorised extensions from other bands causing issues to the system . All connections to the system must be approved , meet links specs and hold a current
licence with the RSM . Owners will be asked to turn them off when they are located

Work continues on the re-installation of the MASTERTON port of the National System, which has not operated for several years .

The number of LOCK ONs we are getting due to jammed microphones is increasing . Please install and use a mic clip in your shack and vehicle . If you have a desk mic with a locking PTT please disable it !! Many hours of trustees time and phone calls result in tracking down the offending transmitter .

Thankyou
