I just spoke to Dad and he tried channel 4 at Mt Alexandra and confirmed it is off the air and has been for over 18 months. It used to be 8-38, but the local idiots used to stuff around so much, the rights were sold. It then went to channel 4, but the dills started to muck around and also made it unviable and it was shut down. I do know of a specific case where some people were involved in a serious crash near Harcourt and tried to seek help via the repeater, and some tool held the button down so they couldn't get through.
Hard to confirm which repeaters are active, have been trying to come up with a list but its doing my head in. Can't` seem to nail down all the info in one place. ACMA database has all the current sites listed but not the channel numbers, other websites with channel numbers but seem to be out of date or not current.Quote:

Rarely use CB anymore because of the interference others cause. Couple of the guys I go away on trips with are licensed Amateur Radio operators, we use our own frequencies but I usually monitor a couple of CB channels when out on the tracks, helps to know if others are in the same area.
