FK8KA / FK8SIX blog

 a reminder of the blog for the New Caledonia Amateur Radio Club blog  FK8KA / FK8SIX

for details on their repeaters and 6m beacon.
It would great if they were able to operate a 2metre and 70cm beacons to compliment their 6metre beacon to allow for tropo propagation studies between  VK & ZL to FK8

Noumea 2metre FM repeater FK8ZHA 146.800 MHz off air

when I visited Noumea at end of December 2019, I took 2m/70cm handheld with me to work the local FK8's but found 146.800 repeater not responding, had it monitoring all day but nothing. Checked the other frequencies, I heard the FK1ZBR 439.950 digital node being used.
Anyway, the 146.800 repeater may have been damaged along with the FK8SIX 6metre beacon last year.   Looks like FK5ZBY operating a Echolink node on 145.300 MHz

But I did find there are stations active based on the APRS.fi map.
