Amateur radio repeaters extend communication range for mobile and remote stations by retransmitting signals on a different frequency, often for emergency communications. The resource details various repeater bands, noting that 2 meters and 70 cm are primary for activity, with 10-meter repeaters offering potential national and overseas coverage. It specifies **18 channels** on 6 meters and **31 channels** on 2 meters, along with a new 70 cm offset of _7 MHz_ adopted in 2015. The content explains how repeaters can be linked via dedicated transmitters/receivers, landlines, or Internet VoIP systems like _IRLP_ and Echolink, enabling global connections. It also describes simplex gateways for multi-band operation and the use of CTCSS subaudible tones for access control and interference mitigation. The document highlights specialized repeaters for modes beyond voice, such as SSTV and ATV, particularly on 70cm and higher bands. Operational guidelines for efficient and courteous repeater use are referenced, along with links to Australian repeater listings and band plans.

A data converter for the Tandy WM918 weather station. The Weather APRS data converter project aims to create an interface to interpret data from the popular Tandy WM918 weather station and format it for transmission over packet radio. The South East Radio Group in South Australia has established a network of these weather stations to provide amateurs with regularly updated weather data. However, the WM918's data output is not structured for APRS weather reporting. This project describes a solution using a PIC microcontroller to convert the WM918 data into APRS-compatible strings that can be sent as beacons or connected packets. The interface offers features like position/positionless data, connected/beacon modes, and metric/imperial units. The goal is to create an interconnected weather reporting system for amateur radio operators

This project addresses the need for a 50 MHz Amplifier providing substantial power for Australian "Advanced Licensees" permitted to use 400W PEP in the 52-54 MHz band. In regions limited to 100W PEP due to TV channel usage, this initiative aims to enhance power output for transceivers with lower capabilities on the 6m band.

Discover a comprehensive solution for mapping Australian ham radio entities using data from the ACMA Public Register. This tool, developed in Delphi 7, generates KML files for Google Earth, showcasing repeaters, beacons, and operators across different prefixes. While respecting privacy regulations, the files provide valuable insights into the amateur radio landscape.

This document serves as a thorough guide to amateur radio nets throughout Australia and includes some international (DX) nets. It outlines key information like frequencies, schedules, and the people responsible for managing these nets. Among the nets covered are Ron's 10 A.M. net, the Australian Travellers Net, and several others, each operating on different bands and regions. Additionally, it offers technical details about repeaters, such as frequency, offset, and CTCSS tones where applicable. Any updates are clearly marked, and further details are included for linked repeater systems and network connections.

The project aims to create a remote control system for the VK5RSE beacons located near Millicent, South Australia. The beacons on 144.550, 432.550, and 1296.550 MHz can interfere with nearby amateur radio operations, particularly for EME work on 1296 MHz. The remote control system uses a DTMF decoder and PIC microcontroller to allow turning the beacons on and off individually or in combination. The system is housed in a diecast box and powered from 5-8V. The password-protected control allows authorized users to manage the beacon operations remotely, helping mitigate interference issues for local amateurs.

Over 200 distinct 2-meter band amateur radio repeaters are cataloged for Australia, providing essential operational data for VHF communication. Each entry specifies the repeater's output frequency, often including the input tone (e.g., **91.5 Hz** or **123.0 Hz** CTCSS) and the repeater's callsign (e.g., _VK2RSC_, _VK3RHF_). Locations are precisely noted, frequently referencing specific towns, mountains, or geographical features such as "Kinglake, Kangaroo Ground" or "Adaminaby, Mars Hill." The resource also indicates various digital modes and linking capabilities where applicable, such as "FMEchoLinkFusionWIRES-X" or "DMR," alongside standard FM operation. This detailed listing facilitates local and regional VHF communication, enabling hams to program their transceivers accurately for repeater access. The data is presented in a clear, tabular format, making it straightforward to identify repeaters by frequency and location.
