Update: The GRHub Network and GR Hub Blog will be off-line/off air until the 1 August 2022


My previous post HERE  refers.

Please take note that the GRHub Network Blog will NOT be updated from now until  1 August 2022 as I will be in Australia.

The local GR Hub Network in Mossel Bay will also be off the air until 1 August 2021.  This does not mean that the National ZS-Link Network will be off-line or off the air.  Despite the GRHub Network not being operational for 8 weeks the following link networks will still be operational during this period.  They are: 

  • ZS1FC-L  West Coast Link
  • ZS5PMB -R  Pietermaritzburg Repeater Network
  • ZS6WDL-R  Panbult Repeater and Zello Network
  • ZS0JPL-R  Pretoria Repeater Network
  • ZS3KBY-R  Kimberley Repeater
  • ZS6CMO-R  Alberton Area
  • From time to time there are also other repeaters/links connected to the above networks.  This will be controlled by the network controllers.

I would like to thank everyone who will be keeping the ZS-Link Network running in my absence but not only for this period but also for regularly connecting the links together to create more band activity.  Radio amateurs who connected to the GRHub Network can connect to any of the above stations during my visit to Australia.  I will attempt to say "Hi" from time to time on Echolink from Australia.

I apologize for any inconvenience in this regard but the ZS-Link is in good hands and will continue as before.  One person does not make this network or net.   My thanks to all the roll-players in this regard.  I am sure I will enjoy the break and will be visiting a few Australian Clubs to hopefully share my experiences when I return to South Africa
