On Saturday the 11 November 2006 WIA Director Robert Broomhead presented to Northern Tasmanian Amateur Radio Group (NTARG) a cheque for $1,900 to enable the group to purchase a new diplexer for their VK7RAA repeater. The submission for the grant was amongst the many received by the WIA and was selected by the Grant Committee on the basis of its purpose and benefit to amateur radio.
VK7RAA is located on Mt Barrow, approximately 45 minutes drive from Launceston and the installation of the new diplexer will allow both the transmit and receive antennas to be located on the same tower with increased elevation and better takeoff.
The cheque was presented to NTARG President Allen Burke VK7AN during a BBQ held near the local lake.
