R.T.T.Y. MAIL BOX AT WIRELESS HILL PARK
---------------------------------------
The radio for this project is undergoing final testing at the
QTH of ROB VK6THP , and after a period of OPERATIONAL activ-
ity from Robs QTH It hoped to have it installed at Wireless
Hill park by MID APRIL
PROPOSED SOUTH WEST DIGIPEATERS FOR THE PACKET NETWORK
------------
It is proposed to establish a digipeater at the MT WILLIAM
site , to complement the current Turner Hill digipeater. The
proposal is to use frequency of 144.850 at Turner HILL
(presently 144.750) and to use 144.750 on MT WILLIAM
This will provide better coverage into areas such as Collie,
Donnybrook and other south/west towns. Both Turner Hill and Mt
William will be linked by VHF ROSE links, and also back to
PERTH. Another advantage of this proposal , will be the
provision of an alternate BBS forwarding link on 144.850 to
VK6AJJ BBS
Finally it was decided that a general access port be esta-
blished at WIRELESS HILL PARK as and when time and finances
permit. This will be on 2m and 70cm , the frequencies for
these have yet to be decided , after tests have been carried
out on site to determine there will be no interference
generated to existing servies who use the site.

Paper for Teleprinters
----------------------
Please, PLEASE, does anyone want some teleprinter paper, I
have boxes of it. It is triplex paper (three sheets of paper,
two sheets of carbon paper), you can have it for the cost of
freight (you pay the freight). This paper will work in any
pressure machine, or even typewriters, no good for tractor
machines. When you unroll it you finish up with three rolls of
paper and two rolls of carbon paper. The paper you can use,
the carbon -- well you can give it to the children to mess up
the house. Don't worry about the amount you want, I have
enough.
Contact Syd VK2SG, phone 02-631 2576 or ok in the call book.
