VK5WSR IRLP link Millicent |
VK5WSR operates on 146.580MHz. The transceiver is a FM828 running about 20 watts output into a coaxial dipole at about 10 metres.
The internet connection is dialup and a 56K modem can be seen above the radio. The Red Hat 7.3 operating system on the computer enables the computer to host this website and that of the Millicent Hospital http://www.millhosp.org
The South East Radio Group is appreciative of the support from the Board of Management of the Health Service. The club would not be able to provide this IRLP node without the support of Adrian VK5ZSN who helped with equipment, software and technical expertise with the Linux operating system. Thanks Adrian.
