Greetings WARG members,
Our first meeting for 2023 is this coming Monday, 6th February, at the 1st Pelican Point sea scouts venue, 12 Australia II Drive in Crawley, opposite UWA. We aim to get the doors open at 7 for a 7:30pm start, with the usual tea, coffee and Tim Tams etc available for a gold coin donation.
On behalf of the Committee, I would like to thank all WARG members who assisted in any way during 2022, from keeping the admin side going to attending site working bees, updating and fixing back-end systems, and everything in between. A few bits & pieces happened over the Christmas / New Year period, but my impression is that many of us took the opportunity to have a good break, after a long year – I hope this was a good time for all, and that everyone is surviving the hot weather these past couple of weeks!
Now that January is behind us, it’s time to look forward again and see what we can achieve for the year ahead. I am finalising an Agenda and will circulate in the next day or so.
FYI, other scheduled WARG meeting dates for 2023 are as follows:
Monday, March 13th (the first Monday 6th is a public holiday);
Monday, April 3rd – start of a new “WARG” financial year, membership subscriptions will be due;
Monday, May 1st – this one is WARG’s Annual General Meeting and election of a new Committee for 2023-24;
Monday, June 12th (again, the first Monday 5th is a public holiday);
Monday, July 3rd;
Monday, August 7th;
Monday, September 4th;
Monday, October 2nd;
Monday, November 6th; and
Monday, December 4th. (WARG do not schedule a January meeting, the next would be Monday 5th February 2024)
WARG meetings are held at the 1st Pelican Point Sea Scout Group, 12 Australia II Drive Crawley. (Down the end past the yacht club) Doors open at 19:00 for a 19:30 start. This is the final WARG meeting of the year, so hope you can all attend.

The West Australian Repeater Group (WARG) would like to offer their condolences to the British Royal Family in this time of sadness. Our thoughts are with those affected by her death.

Hi all,
After what seems like an eternity the VK6RLM DMR repeater is back on line with full connectivity to the Brandmeister network.
After getting HamNet to the site we had to work with the Brandmeister teams both in VK and the US, and then fix a fault with the repeater.
Thanks must got to Matt, VK6ML, for all his work.
The Output frequency of the repeater is 438.525 MHz with a -7MHz offset for the input.
TS1 is user access for whatever talkgroup you like. Just TX on that talkgroup and it will connect and remain connected for 15mins after no more local activity, at which time it will disconnect.
TS2 are statically mapped to TG505 (VK) and TG5056 (VK6).
Have a look at https://brandmeister.network/?page=repeater&id=505605
Reports and feedback welcome.
