In this posting we are going to look at AllStar, Echolink, DMR Bridges, RF Repeaters, Links, Hubs, Nodes that are linked together to constitute an efficient and active South African Network for all radio amateurs to use.   The posting will be in several parts and will stretch over a period of time.  I would like to thank Henk ZS1AAD for gathering all the images and information and also every owner that provided  information about their station on request.  If you link to the ZS Network or the GRHub Network and you have not yet submitted images and information of your station,  please send it to me a.s.a.p. by clicking HERE  I would like to include all participating stations under this topic and publication.  Enough talk let's get going!!

The third and forth station that we will be looking at is the 145.625 Still Bay Repeater and the Echolink Station of  Dolf ZS1DRP-L from Still Bay.  ZS1DRP-L is linked to the 145.625 Mhz repeater situated in Still Bay, Southern Cape.
