Hello All,
Please now find a Links page and the VK Repeater Map in the menu above.
I’m open to suggestions for sites to added to the links page, but let’s not attempt to complete with the likes of AC6V and their 6000 links! Current links have been provided by Bruce VK2HOT with a few added myself, but feel free to let me know at the club’s email address of any glaring omissions or other sites of major interest. Please submit the URL of the site and a brief description as per the layout of the links page.
A while back now I generated a map of NSW Repeaters that I publicized on Facebook, but since then (and thankfully for me) the talented Steve Ireland VK2MD (who’s now caretaker of the WIA’s repeater list) has collated together the info for all Amateur Repeaters & Beacons, UHF CB Repeaters and Marine Radio installations in Australia and made the data available for download. With this data, I have generated a map of all of the above VK radio installations courtesy of Steve and Google maps, which you’ll find embedded on the VK Repeater Map page above. I will update the map with current info as Steve publishes new data.
A Net Controller’s roster and real-time Solar-Terrestrial information is also now available in the sidebar on the right (you may need to scroll down to see them).
Here’s a small version of the repeater map:
I welcome any feedback or suggestions regarding the website in general as well as suggestions for website content.

Excellent work paul, everyone needs to be informed, the site has been static for too many years with no updates, such that no one looks at it anymore – they might now though. Excellent mapping of all repeaters too, 2m, 70cm, marine vhf & chook channels. Do you have 6m & 10m repeaters? VK2ZSW
Thanks Steve, I’ll be bringing everyone’s attention to it at the next general meeting (which is next weekend) – I totally understand why a load of people may have missed the changes to date. yes, all of the repeaters are there from 6m to 23cm, including digital modes. 🙂
