Updated 19 July

There is an overnight SAR exercise being planned for the weekend of 26/27 July. A reminder that registrations are due 19 July.

The slip on the pylon access track has been cleared. After walking in it took ZL3TC and ZL2BRF approximately 4 hours to remove enough of the slip for a 4WD line service vehicle to get past. The slip before and after clearing can be seen in the two pictures below.

The broken VHF Group 11kV line was repaired on the afternoon of 9 July. The Belmont repeater site was placed back online late in the afternoon the same day. It operated on battery power until the line-company reconnected the 11kV supply on the morning of 10 July 08.

Details of the Become a Radio Ham classes are now published.

The classes are scheduled to run for 8 weeks on a Wednesday evening, 6:30-9:00 at Onlsow College in Johnsonville. The first series start on 30th July, and the summer series 22nd October.

Costs are now confirmed at $55 per student, payable to the College. See the page Callsigns and Training for details.

The Belmont tower was re-erected by the contractors, United Group Ltd, on Tuesday 10 June. As can be seen in the photographs it once again stands resplendent. From an initial inspection the contractor's work looks well done.
