The  VK2RAG 1273.400 repeater is back on air as of 2nd Sept 2023, after some refurbishment by Don VK2ZCZ, 

the 23cm repeater is now linked to the VK2RAG 53.725 repeater. This is to encourage more activity tieing 23cm users with 6metre users, both the 23cm rptr and 6metre rptr require 91.5Hz CTCSS to activate the repeaters and simultaneous linking.

CCARC Wyong Field Day 2021

 

The Central Coast Amateur Radio Club (CCARC) held its 2021 Field day last weekend  30th May 2021, 

it was held later than normal, due to Covid disruptions.   Here are a few pics from Wyong by Phil VK2APL, one photo showing members of Manly Warringah Radio Society (MWRS-VK2MB) having a catchup, including visitor and past member Bruce VK4MQ who travelled down from VK4.

Central Coast Field Day 2020

its on again,  ......
    Sunday 23rd February, 2020,  the CCARC (Central Coast Amateur Radio Club) Field Day at Wyong racecourse,  I see from the APRS.fi page there are even VK5's doing a road trip to come to CCARC Field Day.  I going up early Sunday, see whats available in the boot sales,  ie. potential microwave bits and pieces.

Unfortunately, it clashes with the 23 on 23 Microwave Activity Day, which coincides with 23rd of the month, where we activate microwaves bands, which happens to be on a weekend this month.
