I overheard some hams talking about a repeater covering Cowra area. That got my attention as I wandered through Cowra a few times in recent trips out west.
I know of existing repeaters VK2RKG 146.900 at Kelso, linked with VK2RCW 147.200 at Gowan, plus I know of the repeater network for WARC, (Wagga ARC) Repeaters - Wagga Amateur Radio Club (warc.org.au) and their most northern repeater in their network is VK2RYL 146.875 MHz near Young.
Anyway, I did some searching and discovered there is VK2RBT out at near Wyangala that covers that Cowra area. I had sort of wondered if there might be someone else put up a 2metre repeater and link it with the WARC network. Maybe one day.
Anyway, looking up repeaters gave me VK2RBT and the WACRS group.wacrs.org – Wyangala Amateur and Citizens Radio Society. This yielded good info, glad to see some hams out that way getting a repeater network up and running. VK2RBT is currently a 70cm repeater, dual mode, DMR on the VK-DMR network, plus FM analogue requiring 91.5Hz CTCSS tone on input. The Output is 438.825 MHz and input is 431.825 MHz (-7.0Mhz)
Here is hoping they can get some more repeaters up and running.
