visiting Surfers Paradise again, last visit was around 20th-22nd March
2020 just as Covid was ramping up.
I brought my scanner, listening on 146.700 VK4RGC Springbrook belonging
to the GCARC and there is 438.100 VK4RZA also at Springbrook, hearing it ident in CW regularly, it is linked to 70cm rptrs at Brisbane and Sunshine Coast.
Hearing 147.225 VK4RGX, located at Springbrook, which is linked to 146.650 VK4RMC Mt.Cootha, Brisbane which I can also hear.
the GCARC have their morning net at 8am, certainly seems a lot more
activity here on Gold Coast than there is back in Sydney, the rptrs here
are quite active day and night. On past visits it seemed very quiet when I brought 2m/70cm hheld, I think it was probably my cheap Baofeng desensed by local RF.
And Microwave band, they have 23cm rptrs up here too. I wish I had brought
my ic910 now.
I will add some photos.
