Corne ZS1COR informed me that he obtained the necessary permission from the Western Cape Repeater Working Group to connect Echolink to the George 145.700 Mhz repeater. The station ZS1ERZ-L under the hospice of the Eden Radio Club is connected to the repeater from the shack of Corne ZS1COR. Corne ZS1COR indicated that the Echolink setup is currently setup for test purposes. This link setup enables stations from the Southern Cape are to talk to stations in Cape Town via the 145.700 Mhz repeater. The current RF Link between George and Cape Town is down. As a temporary solution Echolink is used to establish a connection between 145.700 Mhz George Repeater and the 145.650 Mhz Hawequas (Du Toitskloof) Repeater.
The following stations were heard recently on the connected link:
- Paul ZS1PTY
- Rudi ZS1RMR
- Louis ZS1JLB
- Tony ZS1TK
- Riaan ZS1ZAR
- Hennie ZS1IK
