Mount Bindo Visit

Over the last few months we have been visiting Mount Bindo to carry out repairs as required to the repeater, 146.650MHz -600kc offset and we still have a lot more work to do at the site but it is much better than it was and slowly getting back to what it used to be many years ago. The site is at a popular 4WD and Motorcycle camping area and the tourist traffic do a huge amount of damage to the site, they have shot out the wind genny, broken some solar panels and other mindless damage, you just wouldn't believe the stupid things that they do. There is a forestry tower next to the repeater hut and it towers over the hut so the fools climb the tower, break the windows of the tower then toss the broken glass onto our repeater site breaking the solar panels, so it is a costly exercise for the volunteers to maintain the site, our own money not government money etc so please if you see fools doing damage out there call them on it and take down number plates etc so we can do something about it.

On a brighter note have a fantastic 2021 and I hope 2020 wasn't to hard for you, wasn't the best for me but on the mend now.

73, Terry.
