The wia has a pdf of all of the repeaters in Australia. Unfortunately they don’t give this information in formats that might be useful when using a computer to program your radio.
Anyway I’ve now managed to get the data for the 6 metre, 2 metre and 70 centimetre repeaters into a csv file, and an excel spread sheet.
Anyway the excel file is here and the csv file is here. If there’s any errors pleas mention it.

Well went to the Kynton Hamfest last weekend. Lots of fun lots of junk, and lots of shiny things.
Ended up getting a new HT from the Strictly Ham stall. A Yaesu VX-7R as our old VX-5R had seen better days.
Anyway it’s an interesting little radios, it does 6 metres, 2 metres, and 70 centimetres FM at 5 watts. It’s also got general receive from the AM broadcast band to 999MHz. Also it can out 300 miliwatts on 1.25 metres (not a band we have allocated.) And the fun thing is that it can also do 6 metre AM with 1 watt.
So far a nice little handheld and I have no gripes with it (though the rubber duck antenna is well a rubber duck antenna.)
Also TTS Systems had a nice stall with the beautiful TENTEC radios and the BudiPole range of antennas.
Then there was the Junk and bits and other bits and pieces. Some bits and pieces, and lots of “shiny things”
Nearing the end of the day I went saw Jim VK3AMN, and Ed VK3FEET talk about what we’re doing with the school and I was able to answer some questions regarding the ARISS contact we did last year.
All in all a fun day.

Well I’ve managed to resolve an issue I was having with my wordpress blog. Where the post screen was a white font on a white background. Not much fun.
Oh well it’s fixed now.
Anyway should be posting a little bit more now.
