A Brief History of HADARC repeaters
In the early 90's, HADARC operated repeaters at various sites: Hornsby Hospital (VK2RPH), a site in Turramurra (VK2RCW) and the current site at Storey Park (VK2RNS). A site in Berowra was proposed in March of 1993 and came online in August 1994 (VK2RAT). The Chatswood site was proposed in 2008 and came online in 2013 (VK2RHT).
At various times, the Storey Park site has had:
- a 2m analogue repeater - VK2RNS (current)
- a 70cm analogue/P25 repeater - VK2RNS (current)
- a packet ROSE node with links to the wider state network
- a 2m and 80m morse beacon - VK2RCW - this was relocated from Turramurra to the Storey Park site in 1998, then handed over to Amateur Radio NSW in 2002, and now operates from their Dural site.
- links between Berowra site, with linking and voting remote-receive for both VK2RNS and VK2RAT
- IRLP/Echolink (in 2006)
- Multiple transmit radios for redundancy (in 2009/2010)
