The Shannon's Adelaide Rally was held over the 08th to the 10th of November across the Adelaide Hills Region which was last weekend.
WICEN S.A. and its highly professional and skilled volunteers Ham Radio Operators provided Radio Communications and Logistics Support for this event across the 3 days which involved 30 stages across the three days.
The WICEN S.A. Committee and The Shannon's Adelaide Rally Organisers along with the Rally Participants would like to say Thank You to all of out wonderful WICEN S.A. Volunteers / Ham Radio Operators who provided their time, skills and equipment which made this event such a great success, and we could not have done it without you, so give yourselves a big pat on the back as it is justly deserved by all.
WICEN S.A. and our volunteers utilized the Adelaide Linked Repeater Network for all 30 stages of the Rally across the weekend and the Adelaide Linked Repeater Network performed faultlessly across the three days and across all stages and we hope that we didn't inconvenience our fellow amateur radio operators across the 3 days by utilizing the Adelaide Linked Repeater Network. If we did inconvenience you then we do apologize to you personally for the inconvenience that we may have caused you at the time.
The committee members of WICEN S.A. and the organisations volunteers wish to say thank you to the Adelaide Linked Repeaters designers and builders of the network VK5HSV Mr. Dean McGinty and VK5NRV Mr. Shane Thiele for creating such a great network of repeaters for the Amateur Radio Community
Across all stages of the Rally most of the communications were performed on a Simplex Frequencies between Start, Finish and SOS points and this enabled the Linked Repeater Network to be freed up for other users and for Co-ordination between The Stages and Rally Control which was located at the Wayville Showgrounds.
This has been David VK5LSB and on behalf of the WICEN S.A. Committee saying thank you for listening and looking forward to volunteering alongside of you all at the next event or chatting to you at the WICEN S.A. Social Get Together on the 23rd November 2024 down at the Scouts Centre for Adventurist Activities located at Anderson Avenue Glenelg North with door opening at 0930hrs. Cheers and Stay Safe 73.

Repeater Maintenance / 21.6 wide-band IF fuilters nee...
Last post by VK5VI - Nov 12, 2024, 10:51 AMGreetings all out in amateur radio-land.
I have a pair of Unilab KL150s that could be reused for future VHF repeaters/replacements but both have narrow-band IF filters and quite unsuitable for our usual FM 5kHz deviation.
Does anyone have the required filters (21.6 -15) on hand ready to be reused? They could be from a junked KL150/450, or an old Kyodo mobile radio, altho those were not so popular in Oz.
Any help appreciated to repurpose these old but still very useful radios.
Brian.
