Andrew VK4QF has kindly donated the repeaters operational capabilities to BARC for club use. Andrew will continue to maintain and service the repeater into the future.

Who is Andrew you might ask? Well he is the man behind many 2m and 70cm repeaters in Qld. He designed and installed the 2m linked repeater system – 6 by 2m repeaters at Springbrook, Cootha, Ipswich, Toowoomba, Bunya Mountains and Warwick. These are all linked together and provide tremendous coverage over SE Qld.

Why use a WSPR Beacon?
Behind the curtains the project is starting to discuss ways to analyze the data derived from all the global WSPR Beacons. Seems like we can get some big data analytics cracks aboard to correlate solar indices and Ionospheric Key figures with the beacon data with the help of machine learning algorithms. Eventually leading to better HF propagation forecasting.

Remember it's your hobby so get active and turn your radio on.
