The repeater runs 100W on the 2m repeater into a Diamond X-300 and 30W on 6m into a Halo antenna. Also on site are various Digipeaters and a 2m beacon/repeater which is on 147.975 MHz which retransmits any activity on VK7’s RTC,RIN,RBH,RAD (6m) and 147.375. The Domain is located 140m above sea level and has a good outlook all over the city. VK7RAD and Dave 7DM VK7BW installing antennas at VK7RAD
