Ever wondered how much of South Africa is covered by 2m AR repeaters?
Now using the
GPS Trackmaker
software package we can plot the location of each repeater on a map and
show its estimated coverage. Once the map is complete it will give some
indication of the coverage of 2m AR repeaters in South Africa. Below is the file to date.
( Thanks to the repeater managers who have sent in their repeater data.) Repeater locations,
frequencies and call signs can be e-mailed to
zs2cli@qwest.co.za
About the map.
Each "Map Pin" represents a repeater. ( I
left the call signs off because they made the web based map too cluttered ) The
circle
over each repeater indicates a possible range of 50km in each
direction. ( More or less depending on, local topography and equipment at the receiving
station. )

The GPS Trackmaker
file used to make this map can be downloaded

This file contains more detailed in formation as well as call signs and
frequencies where available.

Can you help?
If you know the exact location of your clubs repeater/s and their
Frequency + ICASA call sign ( ie ZU9MDR ), please forward this information to me and
I'll add it to the map. Repeater locations can be e-mailed to me at
