(Dural VK2WI Transmitter Site)
ARNSW are in the progress
of upgrading the facilities on our Dural site, so that in the future all our
services to members and visitors will be available from this site. Currently
we make the weekly VK2WI news broadcasts, hold our regular Trash and
Treasure events and have the Homebrew Technical Meetings at this facility.
Our various beacons and repeaters also run from here.
Address : ARNSW (VK2WI), 63 Quarry Road, Dural NSW 2158
The site is just north of the
round-about at Dural, turn right at the lights into Quarry Rd, about 2Km
along on your left look for the white fence and the transmitting tower .
Telephone : 02 9651 1489 (VK2WI voice line)
The phone line into the transmitter building is there mainly for the safety
of the broadcast crew. On Sundays listeners may phone on this line to
advise of errors or omissions in the broadcast, VK2WI transmission faults or
genuine emergencies. On Trash and Treasure or Special Event days use this
number to request transport from the local bus stop.
Please note that only on Sundays during
holiday breaks can news items be submitted on the VK2WI voice line. These
items are only broadcast if authorized by a Senior Broadcast staffer or an ARNSW Councilor, all items must be authenticated before going to air. At
other times all News and Reports are to be submitted through our office
using mail, email, FAX or phone contact.
As mentioned above there is an answering machine on our office phone line
and a toll free line for NSW country callers. Access to this site on non-event days is
severely restricted, any arrangements for deliveries or pick-ups MUST
be made through our office or with one of the ARNSW Councilors.
During event days there is plenty of parking on site,
usually a BBQ (friend of the family prices) and a friendly cup of tea/coffee
in the shack with our Broadcast staff. At other times the facilities are
open only whilst making broadcasts or carrying out maintenance on the
equipment or grounds.
