Northam repeater VK6RAV in the Avon Valley looks like it is going to have to find a new home thanks to significant amounts of minerals beneath it which are proposed to be mined in 2011. A number of suitable sites are currently being negotiated. This repeater will be integral to the linking/coverage through to Kellerberrin as part of WARG’s expansion of Voice and APRS coverage towards Kalgoorlie.
