Canberra Region and Wagga Region repeaters

 I was just checking out the repeaters for Goulburn and Southern Highlands ARC (GaSHARC) recently, as they have an extensive repeater network  from Yass - Goulburn - High Range, which led me to check out the Canberra and Wagga club's repeaters as we visit Canberra and Junee and also Tumut from time to time.

Both CRARC and WARC  have their own extensive repeater networks which are outlined on their respective websites.

Next time I out Junee way, I'll get to try out the WARC 6metre repeater VK2RBE,
I also noted CRARC still showing their 6metre repeater for Mt.Ginini as planned, so fingers crossed it that it gets finished and commissioned one day

6metre FM opening today 9 Dec 2022

 I think the first opening  for FM today for this summer period, open to VK3 and VK7, with respect to FM repeaters, it was from Sydney to VK7,  although I see VK3 were seeing VK2 around 6pm AEDST

I worked VK7RCH 53.700- working some locals from Sydney   plus VK7QF, then VK7RAD 53.825 and VK7RAA 53.875,  although sometimes keying two rptrs.

Of course looking from a weak signal perspective it was wide open into Pacific, 3D2 and ZL, up to JA,

actually FM is a good indicator that it wide open for SSB and other weak signals modes.
