The Home of VK4BAD

bg-adbox
Welcome to the official website of the Bunya Mountains & District Amateur Radio Club!

Based in the township of Dalby QLD, we have about 20 Members from the Western Downs, Darling Downs and South Burnett regions.
We currently operate 3 Amateur Repeaters, VK4RET and VK4RME. These provide fantastic coverage
around the South Burnett and Western Downs areas.

Return of the 6m Bunya Repeater

In the coming months, the 6m Repeater will return to Mt Mowbullan on the Bunya Mountains! 6 Metres can be a challenging band, especially when dealing with harmonics of FM Radio Broadcast Stations, as they operate at roughly double the 6m Frequency Band. Watch this space for further updates!

It will consist of linked 70cm Repeaters, with range spanning from Chinchilla to Brisbane, Sunshine and Gold Coasts.

Digital Rollout

We have recently upgraded our VK4RET 70cm Repeater into a MultiMode FM / P25 Tait Repeater. Available for use by all Amateurs with ANALOG or P25 radios.

Please give it a go:
Rep Tx: 438.700MHz with 91.5 CTCSS / 293 NAC
Rep Rx: 433.700MHz with 91.5 CTCSS / 293 NAC

NOTE: Program your analog channel to decode the 91.5 CTCSS.
This will keep P25 traffic from opening your squelch.
