The club rooms will re-open on January 8 next year subject to the health orders.
Planning is well under way for Mayham, which is scheduled for the first of May, 2022.
At the Somersby repeater site, the D-Star, Rad-Net DMR and 2m Echolink services are fully functional. Brand
Meister DMR and 70cm Echolink and IRLP are still having problems.
The club has a Web SDR at the repeater site. Websdr.ccarc.org.au is currently configured to listen on 6 metres, 2
metres, 70 centimetres and 23 centimetres.
The daily morning tea net continues on the VK2RAG 2m repeater and echolink thanks to the efforts and
commitment of Bob VK2AOR, Dave VK2KFU and Brad VK2NMZ. Dave will be taking a break from the
hosting team after New Years Eve and we thank him for his solid contribution.
The fortnightly SSTV net will resume on January 21.
The weekly Thursday night net was hosted by Alan VK2MG with the topic “What plans have you for the
Christmas and New Year Break”, with the common theme being quiet time avoiding people. The weekly net will
resume on January 13.
The SSTV and Weekly nets are also video streamed live to the club’s Facebook page and old nets are available to
be watched.
