Unfortunatally we could not keep the location that was housing our repeaters so they have been taken down. It was a great location and served the Adelaide HAM community well.
Good news!! The club has negotiated a different location on the same land. We need to set it up and be self sufficient, ie solar, battery, mast, shed etc.

The SA Sea Rescue Squadron is one of six independently incorporated Associations, in addition to the marine units of the State Emergency Service (SES) that are strategically located throughout the State. The majority of SAR operations are conducted under the co-ordination of the South Australia Police who are the recognised authority under the National Search and Rescue Plan. In addition to providing a water rescue capability, VMR Associations and the SES operate a number of limited coastal listening stations around the State that provide a listening watch over marine radio frequencies, particularly the VHF network.
