New channel 4 repeater- Caloundra?
I was flicking through the UHF cb channels tonight and I can access a repeater I didn't know existed.
It's on channel 4 (476.500) and every 10 minutes it automatically identifies itself with a recorded female voice as DHC04 Caloundra. (I could be wrong on the first two letters of the call sign).
Anyone know much about this?

Re: New channel 4 repeater- Caloundra?
Are you able to hear/access the repeater from your location, Phil?
The signal strength is very low where I am (Buderim).

Re: New channel 4 repeater- Caloundra?
VHT04 was/is at Noosa. According to this, it is off the air:

Can anyone else here access the Caloundra repeater? It must be new as no one is using it yet (just wait until the brain-dead zombies on ch 6 find it )

That Site shows it located at the same place as shown in the ACMA Database.Scannersplitterguy wrote:VHT04 was/is at Noosa. According to this, it is off the air:

The Site also states that it was under repair as at July 2011, so perhaps it has now been repaired, and is back on Air.
The Cooroy/Noosa Site is about 32 km from Buderim.

Re: New channel 4 repeater- Caloundra?
The channel 4 was on Black Mountain north of Cooroy, it was working fine but the TX antenna had fallen/broken and it had a range of about 1klm but it RXed fine, It was sold about 12 months ago(maybe more). I have been told it is on Buderim but it doesn't have a good range for up there

Re: New channel 4 repeater- Caloundra?
Update
The channel 4 repeater is on the Caloundra Lighthouse. It's been operating in full capacity for a couple of months now.
Fortunately, the brain-dead button-pushers haven't found it yet.

Re: New channel 4 repeater- Caloundra?
thats strange, its not licensed for that location, even tonight its still only authorised for Cooroy location, acma might not give a toss about users, but repeater operators got lot more to lose, incl finesScannersplitterguy wrote:Update

Re: New channel 4 repeater- Caloundra?
The plot thickens....the repeater has been off the air for several days. Seems to be having technical problems when it is on, too.

On Fri night, travelling Bribie rd I was listening to a c4, no idea which one, was very weak, was making noises, sounded almost like a crook/out-of-tune diplexer.Scannersplitterguy wrote:The plot thickens....the repeater has been off the air for several days.

Re: New channel 4 repeater- Caloundra?
So is the CH4 repeater at Caloundra the repeater that was at Cooroy and they moved it? or has the ACMA allowed for two on the same channel 40km apart.. :/QLD-Bob wrote:CH4 repeater is located at coloundra light house.
