Whilst listening to the Westlakes ARC Net and broadcast on VK-DMR TG3802 talkgroup starting at 8.30am local and broadcast starting at 9am local, the callback mentioned the 6metre net starting at 10am which it did, as I could hear it on the VK2RSN repeater 53.625 MHz
Then tonight I heard the Blue Mountain ARC 6metre start at 8pm on VK2RBM repeater 53.875 MHz
Good to see some groups making good use of 6metre repeaters
