Postal: RMD TRURO SOUTH AUSTRALIA 5356

Moving away from traditional CB Clubs, ACBRO introduces the Barossa & Districts Repeater Association.

Its first meeting at which the Association was formed was held on the 5th of August, 1985. Repeater 4  has a wide radius as the Mount Rufous site is 587m high and is situated on a 35m tower. This provides people from Ardrossan to the riverland areas with the facility of using U.H.F. Radio.

The Association's main objective is to continually provide and maintain the repeater site for the Barossa and surrounding districts in South Australia.

Annual mebbership in the Association is $25.00 with life membership being $200.00.  All members are provided with a U.H.F. repeater which is kept in working order and upgraded when necessary by a small committee comprising of members from all over the district. Members are also notified in writing of any matters pertinent to the Association such as Annual General Meetings and the such-like.

The Management Committee meet on a regular basis to oversee the general operation of the Association and call on "working bees" as required.

There are far more people using the repeater who are not members and do not support the maintenance of the repeater. In a country area the repeater is a useful communication aid for general and emergency purposes and as a result the Association welcomes support of any type from all users of the repeater. Enquires to the Association may be directed to the address listed above and marked att: B.F. Rice (Secretary.)

Congratulations to all those helping to maintain repeater 4 for a job well done in continuing to meet the needs of the U.H.F. users through the
repeater.
