Attended by :- Norbert VK5MQ, Peter VK5BE, Owen VK5HOS
Tasks completed
In conjunction with staff from CSE CrossComm, conducted further investigation into the intermittent interference that has been plaguing our 2m repeater for some time.
Assisted staff from CSE CrossComm to recover our antennas from the Hutchesson tower. Firstly, the newly acquired stacked pair of folded dipoles were recovered for relocating to Mount Graham, then the small UHF link yagi to Naracoorte was recovered, and lastly the temporary single 2m folded dipole was also recovered. All of their respective coaxial cables were also recovered.
NOTE – the linking to Naracoorte and Willalooka will be out of service until further notice.
Following the removal of the excess vegetation within the Lime FM compound at the previous working bee, Owen has sprayed the remaining areas to kill off any remaining vegetation.
