Orange & Districts Amateur Radio Club
Updated
2008-06-29
Meetings
The Club is located in the Orange district of NSW. Meetings are
held on the first Friday of each month (except January) . At the
usual venue, the RAAF building, 64 Warrendine St, Orange. Just look for
the big missile in the front yard. Meetings start at 7:30pm, all visitors
and members are welcome.
Anyone interested in radio &/or
electronics is quite welcome. A free light supper at the end of the
meeting with an odd yarn or two.
Check out the Clubs
web site for some good Homebrew projects, including a 2m/70cm antenna with
duplexer which can also be used for reception from 100MHz to 1GHz. There
is also a very nice setup for a portable repeater station.
Mt Canobolas “FRED”
Repeater
For many years the Oldest Repeater in Australia
has been very sick. The original FRED was on 146.7 / 146.1MHz, "FRED"
(short for Flamin’ Ridiculous Electronic Device) was the first amateur
repeater in Australia. It came on air in the early 1960’s.
This repeater has been suffering from interference on the receive
frequency and has been either off air or been severely down graded on the
receive side for the last 8 to 10 years. The Orange and District Amateur
Radio Club wish to advise that the Mt Canoblas repeater otherwise know as
FRED, has changed frequency.FRED is back with new frequencies of 147.025 /
147.625 MHz. The coverage is back to the days we new many years ago.
Contacts have been made with Parkes & Dubbo from mobiles and also to a
Wagga Wagga home station. All amateurs in range are very welcome to use
the repeater direct or via the Echo Link connection.
The
old frequency will now be used for an “in town repeater” for Orange, thus
keeping the new frequency for the oldest DX repeater in
Australia.
(Advised by Phil VK2FIL President ODARC and Robert VK2ZRJ
Repeater Officer for ODARC.)

Repeater
The club
conducts two nets on the 146.7 MHz two metre repeater each week. At the

the midweek nets will again be run on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 pm. These
nets had been moved to Tuesday nights but now that the club has installed
a two metre FM transceiver in the SES building, the club station VK2BOR
will be activated by members during the SES Wednesday training nights as
net control for the mid week net. The second net is held on Sunday
mornings at 8:30 am. All stations who are able to access the repeater are
invited to participate in the nets.
