The repeater is of very poor quality and the audio and deviation levels are
an embarrasment to its maker!
The repeater seems to be most active on weekends and night times and is
transmitting in the area of Camden/Razorback area.
The operation of this repeater is illegal and the owners have declared their
intention to run it as long as possible without consideration for their
actions.
With investigations currently under way this repeater should be shut down
very soon.
Kind regards..
J Kennedy Owner/Licencee VMG3 (channel 3 Sydney)

APC news even carried an article 2 weeks in a row about the NEW repeater for
Melbourne, even though after the first broadcast I emailed them and told
them to verify it first!
As for dobbing them into the ACA, not me! I might dob in a commercial
operator if I get half a chance, but not another CBer. If they get caught,
who cares but I'm not going to make my life hell just to earn some bullshit
brownie points at the ACA.

The thing is that JD is about as popular as a pork chop during ramadan
here in Sydney. He just seems to have that magic personality that
makes ch1 users want to kill him. Though I never had much good
to say about ch1 users anyway. I just can't put my finger on what
that quality is that he has ? :-)

Besides, I thought ACA didn't give a stuff what happened on CB anyway -
every time we up here complain about large industrial companies or even
government departments using UHF CB for their private channels and kicking
others off the channel, all we get is "so??" or "CB is self regulating"
(interpretation = "so?")

I move to Melbourne next week, and I can guarantee that the repeaters down
there will be about the same as Sydney, maybe not as good in Coverage as
Channel 1, but the content will be the same.
I would love to be proven wrong, but I wont hold my breath.

I don't know who Peter Atkins is, but he has to be a vast improvement on the
current owner and his behaviour.
The repeater is more like his personal soap box in Hyde park than a
communications device! and then again if he was to say half the shit he does
on channel1 in Hyde park he would probably be arrested and put in a mental
institution !
And you have gotta love the illegal input channel he uses to wipe out
everyone on the channel what a stroke of magic !!
As for illegal uhfcb repeaters, who cares at least they provide some
coverage, unlike channel 3 and 7 in Sydney which are only collecting dust on
a shelf somewhere and probably will for the next decade.
Give the licenses to people who are ready to go with all the gear and have
their shit sorted out first !
But I suppose that's too logical for the ACA !!
Also I hope you have more luck in Vic ?
10-4 and over good buddies!!!

It is always great to get that amount of attention and passionate opinion
about my last post. It gratifies me to know that I have created such a
strong chord of discontent with some members of the CB radio community. I
mean seriously, some of you out there have such poor grammer and spelling
that it is with absolutely no surprise that these same people have an
inability to socially and effectivley communicate.
First of all Dougs poorly spelt post makes the allegation that I ran a
pirate repeater in Campbelltown (note the correct spelling Doug). This is
completely untrue. I ran the repeater from my home apartment block in
Hurstville for a period of 8 weeks. While it is true that this repeater was
unlicenced the ACA at no stage "pinged" me for anything. This was in
November / December of 1997. The repeater was turned off when the owner of
Ch 4 Mount Riverview turned his repeater back on. The repeater I was
operated at that time is still in my possesion to this day. While I conceed
that it was the wrong thing to do I have now licenced two CB repeaters for
the Sydney radio community. I do this at my own cost. I supply and maintain
the repeater equipment and licence with no monetary or technical assistance
from any other source than myself. So thank you Doug for your under average
comments but please get try to get your facts right.
Secondly, Simon you have always provided reasonable and intelligent comments
to the group and I am happy to see you have done so again. My only
disagreement with your post would be that if an operator breaches part of
the radiocommunications act
then he/she should be firstly warned of the offence and if the offence is
subsequently recommited then that operator should be fully accountable. As a
licenced repeater owner would it be a fair assumption that you or I or any
individual has the right to complain to a relevent authority if a breach of
law has been commited? After all if anarchy is to prevail on CB then
complacency is the easiest way to achieve it.
As for Trash, have you managed to put your finger on it yet?
Martin has a good point in that the ACA do not seem to want to "police" the
band. I cant speak for what happens in other areas but as for Sydney, the
ACA are very active and more than willing to investigate any legitimate
complaint in relation to a breach of the radiocommunications act.
Max Limit if you were "trashed" over the air by me or other operators years
ago on channel 3 repeater then it was probably for the reason that you were
abusive, interuptive, harrasing and or threatening people. Be assured that
uhf CB in Sydney is a great place to be without you and you have never been
missed. Thankyou for you compliments but surely Max, wasting your time on
people you do not like is pointless, hmmmm?
Tobias Reaper I have never run a "bodgey" channel one repeater in
Hurstville. You are either misled or living in a dillusional world of
wishful thinking. I have never called a kettle black, but many thanks for
your pointless thoughts.
Craig Pilkington stand out in the crowd with his intellegent comments and
carefully worded points. Well done Craig at last someone who sees the "big
picture". A big hello to the Melbournians out there.
I have provided Sydney with an exceptional CB repeater. It is famous around
the country for its outspoken, colorful operators. I am a believer of
leading by example. So if a naughty guy like me can behave so can the rest
of you.
This concludes Chapter 1 of Gone With The Wind :)

Well, no, I'm still deciding whether the CB population of Sydney hate
you because they are jealous of your clearly superior intelect or
you have some magical ability to transmit ferromones over an
electromagnetic medium, and the other non alpha males sense you to
be a threat to their existance ?
Maybe it's something else ?
Channel 2 is a great repeater yes, my point was basically that ALL repeaters
in Sydney, and most Capital Cities, are full of ratbags. The only Major
capital city that I have been in in the last 6 months (and i have been in
all but Darwin & Perth), was Canberra who use their Repeaters the way they
were designed.
Coverage wise, Receiving a channel from Mittagong to Tugarah and West to
Blackheath is Exeptional coverage compared to most repeaters. Sydney is
unique in its a valley surrounded by a Range giving it exeptional radio
coverage, only suppast by the City of Wollongong.
UHF Repeaters were almost made redundant in 1990 with the mass production of
the Mobile Phone. This is why CREST is almost non existant in Capital Cities
anymore, and the hobby is almost dead. Highways for Trucks and Caravans, and
the Farmer are the only remaining domains for serious radio users.
I am from the planet Earth, and very proud of it and i think It is time we
regained our radio spectrum back from the morons that ruined it for us all.
What do I care, I leave Sydney in 5 Days, and wont get to hear how it all
turns out, but I hope for Radio's sake, we can sort it all out and get back
to the better Times.

I have the solution to it but the repeater owner is worried the ACA will
crack the sads over it. Simple shut the repeater down for a week or two and
place a continuous tone on 31! My opinion is however if the ACA are not
prepared to solve the problem they should allow the repeater owner to.

I do appreciate the problem. Although would encourage everyone not to
generalise. I know a few commercial users who operate in a friendly and
considerate manner. Not many, but a few :-) The problem is abuse, which is
down to an individual, not their employment. Does that sound a bit
idealogical? Yeah, fair enough :-)
A solution that will not need an outage

Grammar is spelt this way, not grammer.

Incorrect grammar. It should read ' I have done this at my own cost.'

Where do I start? 'Under average comments'? What the hell do you mean Mr.
Kennedy? And such grammar! '...please get try to get your facts right' is
just about the worst piece of grammar I've seen, even here. For Heaven'd
sake Mr. Kennedy, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!
I could go on and dissect the rest of your poorly written diatribe, but I
believe that to be unnecessary. Suffice to list just a few more of your faux
pas:
> 'with your post is', not 'would be'.
> firstly warned
> recommitted, not recommited
>no punctuation at all
>'As a licensed (not licenced) repeater owner .....breach of (the) law has
been comitted (not commited) doesn't make any sense. Read it again Mr.
Kennedy.
> Please explain to us, Mr. Kennedy, how you achieve anarchy by compacency?
I think you're only playing with words, the meaning of which you don't
really understand. Isn't that so, Mr. Kennedy?
>' I can't speak......ACA are very active and more than willing....' What
utter rubbish Mr. Kennedy. The ACA is so short staffed that the last thing
they give a hoot about is CB radio. Even the amateur's Intruder Watch has
given up trying to get them to act on complaints, written or otherwise.
Finally Mr. Kennedy, remember that self-praise is no recommendation. You're
big on bluster Mr. Kennedy, but mighty thin on facts. Oh, and by the way,
down here in Melbourne, we've never even heard of you, far less your
'exceptional CB repeater'. I think the wind that you've gone with is
undoubtedly your own.
Ruff
I must admit, his repeater is exceptional, because he is the only one
talking, the rest are dumped on constantly by him with his verbal
dictatorship !!!!
