The good folks from the <a href="https://midislandradio.ca/repeaters/full-area-repeater-list/" class="urlextern" title="https://midislandradio.ca/repeaters/full-area-repeater-list/" rel="ugc nofollow">Mid Island Radio Association</a> have “whole heartedly approved Sunshine Coast ARC use of MIRA repeater VE7RBB on Mt Benson at Nanaimo for [our] Thursday Net and for back-up emergency communications.”
</p>
<p>
I'll give more details at our next meeting on the 30th, but for now, here are the frequencies:

This one is a stand alone repeater:

<p>
<strong>† Note</strong>: The VE7SYD repeater is not working properly at the moment and they won't be able to fix it until they can gain access to the site in the spring/summer. Also, even under good working condition, this repeater is solar powered and should not be used except during their regularly scheduled nets or for an emergency. The other four repeaters are grid powered.
