The club is again open but subject to the health order restrictions.
The daily morning tea net continues. A massive thanks go out to Bob VK2AOR and Dave VK2KFU for running
these nets. You will be sure to learn a little piece of history each day.
Adrian VK2ABS our youngest club member who is an avid SSTV fan hosts a net every 2 weeks. Held on the
Club’s 2 Meter WICEN repeater; 147.125 MHz with 91.5 Hz tone. The net consists of 2-3 rounds predominately
in Scottie-2 mode. Adrian has had a large amount of support from other members and would love to see you drop
in. The next net is scheduled for Friday, November 5th at 7:30 PM.
There was no Thursday night net this week, but we’ll be back next week at 8:00pm on the club’s 2m VK2RAG
repeater – 146.725 with 91.5Hz tone.
The SSTV and Weekly nets are also video streamed live to the club’s Facebook page.
Our I.T. Team are experimenting with a Web SDR that is destined for the Somersby repeater site.
Websdr.ccarc.org.au is currently configured to allow four users to listen on 2 metres with a number of presets.
The club’s Brand Meister DMR repeater is still having problems. The Echolink and IRLP systems remain offline,
while configuration and testing of the replacement unit is under way. D-Star and Rad-net DMR repeaters are fully
functional.
You can find out more about the CCARC on the web at www.ccarc.org.au, via telephone on 02 4340 2500 , or

the club a “like” to follow for any updates.
