THE SARL WEDNESDAY 80 M CLUB CONTEST ON 19 JANUARY
THE BO-KAROO ARC DONATES TWO TROPHIES TO THE SARL
and
THE SUMMER QRP CONTEST ON 22 JANUARY
Stay tuned for more information on these and other interesting news items.
THE SARL WEDNESDAY 80 M CLUB CONTEST ON 19 JANUARY
The first leg of the SARL Wednesday 80 m Club Contest will run from 17:00
to 18:00 UTC on Wednesday 19 January with phone, CW, and digital acti
vity. The exchange is an RS, RST, or RSQ report, your four-character
grid square, and the name or abbreviation of your Club. The scoring has
changed; you will find all the information on pages 57 and 58 of the 2022
Blue Book. Submit your MS Excel log by 21:59 UTC on Monday 24 January to
.
THE SASOLBURG ARC REPEATER
On 7 January 2022, the Sasolburg ARC changed the frequency of the Club r epeater from 145,600 MHz to 145,6875 MHz. This was done in collaborati
on and on the proposal of the SARL's VHF/UHF Manager.
Microwave transmissions for internet services with dishes all over the tow
n, cause an oscillation at 145,000 MHz. This has been reported all ove
r the world and the manufacturers, do not have a good enough filter to t
ake it away. The result is that when we want to use the 145,600 MHz repe
ater, with the input at 145,000 MHz, the disturbing oscillation then
occurs on the input and is just as strong as a normal amateur signal into
the repeater. The end result is that it mixes with the amateur's
signal into the repeater and the listeners receive a signal with interfer
ence from the repeater.
While ICASA has granted the Club a 3-month test period, the Club committ
ee asks all radio amateurs who also use this repeater frequency in other r egions around Gauteng, to send reports of any possible interference as w
ell as signal reports. Send the reports to
zs4srk@gmail.com. If the tests
are going to be successful and no complaints have been lodged, then the
Club will look into using the 145,6875 MHz frequency permanently in Sas olburg.
THE BO-KAROO ARC DONATES TWO TROPHIES TO THE SARL
The Bo-Karoo ARC has donated two trophies to the SARL. The Tjaard Van Der
Walt HOTA Activator and Chaser Trophies will be awarded at the end of eac
h year to the amateur who has activated or chased the most Heritage on the
Air sites around the country. The Club is working on the criteria for eac
h trophy; this will be published in Radio ZS and the SARL Awards Directory
. Thank you to Tjaard, ZS3DR, and the Bo-Karoo ARC.

tot 18:00 UTC op Woensdag 19 Januarie gehou word met foon-, gelykgolf-
en digitale aktiwiteit. Die uitruiling is 'n RS-, RST- of RSQ-verslag
, jou vier karakter ruitblok en die naam of afkorting van jou Klub. Die
puntetelling het verander; jy sal al die inligting op bladsye 57 en 58 va

DIE SASOLBURG ARK HERHALER
Op 7 Januarie 2022 het die Sasolburg ARK die frekwensie van die Klub-herha
ler van 145,600 MHz na 145,6875 MHz verander. Dit is gedoen in samewer
king en op voorstel van die SARL se BHF/UHF Bestuurder.
Mikrogolf uitsendings vir internet-dienste met skottels oral in die dorp v eroorsaak 'n ossillasie op 145 000 MHz. Dit is oor die hele wêreld ge rapporteer en die vervaardigers het nie 'n goeie genoeg filter om dit weg
te neem nie. Die gevolg is dat wanneer ons die 145,600 MHz-herhaler wil
gebruik, met die inset op 145,000 MHz, die steurende ossillasie dan
op die inset plaasvind en is net so sterk soos 'n normale amateur sein in
die herhaler in. Die eindresultaat is dat dit meng met die amateur se sei
n in die herhaler en die luisteraars ontvang 'n sein met steuring vanaf di
e herhaler.
Terwyl OKOSA aan die Klub 'n 3 maande toetsperiode toegestaan â-‹â
-‹het, vra die Klubkomitee alle radio amateurs wat ook hierdie herha
ler frekwensie in ander streke rondom Gauteng gebruik, om verslae van en
ige moontlike steurings sowel as seinverslae te stuur. Stuur die verslae n
a zs4srk @ gmail.com. Indien die toetse suksesvol gaan wees en geen klagte
s ingedien is nie, sal die Klub kyk na die permanente gebruik van die 14
5,6875 MHz frekwensie in Sasolburg.
DIE BO-KAROO ARK SKENK TWEE TROFEË AAN DIE SARL
Die Bo-Karoo ARK het twee trofeë aan die SARL geskenk. Die Tjaard vd
Walt HOTA Aktiveerder en Jagter Trofeë sal aan die einde van elke ja
ar toegeken word aan die amateur wat die meeste Erfenis op die Lug terrein
e regoor die land geaktiveer of gejaag het. Die Klub werk aan die kriteria
vir elke trofee, dit sal in Radio ZS sowel as die SARL Toekenningsgids
gepubliseer word. Dankie aan Tjaard, ZS3DR en die Bo-Karoo ARK.
