Digital Rebroadcasts
Thanks to Phil VK3PG for relaying the digital broadcasts on DMR and D-STAR and for Roger VK3KYY for doing the callbacks for DMR
Channel 5 whilst Clayton VK7ZCR is away.
Clayton has taken a well earned break over the last few weeks.
If you listen on D-STAR 91C and are able to take call-backs at the end of the broadcast it would be appreciated as Phil is invo
lved with VK3 relays and Roger is only able to undertake callbacks on DMR.
If you do take callbacks then please forward the numbers to email: vk7arnews(at)gmail.com.
