Internet linking of repeaters

Work is progressing with the permanent linking of VK7RTV Repeaters at Gawler and VK4RSS 70cm repeater in Ocean View, Queensland.

At present, the repeaters are linked 'ad hoc' or on demand via IRLP. Another separate VOIP system is currently being investigated which will ultimately allow a permanent connection and link between the networks, freeing up the
existing IRLP nodes for local traffic.

The UHF Repeater VK4RSS (owned and operated by NWT-ATV Gp. Club Members, Adrian VK4RV and xyl Jessica VK4FJAR) is situated approximately 15KM inland West of us here in Redcliffe.

Its coverage includes areas of the Gold Coast, Greater Brisbane Area, Northern Cities and Suburbs, through to the Sunshine Coast as far north as Coolum Beach.
