Pins show approximate site areas from the VKHam directory; they do not confirm that a repeater is currently operating. Open the layer control on the map to show or hide individual UHF CB channels. Check the VKHam Tasmania listing ↗

FIXED REPEATER

VK7Reticulum

EDIT IN data.js

This section describes the fixed Southern Tasmania repeater. Share interface settings and a broad location only; keep identities and private keys private.

NETWORK NOTES

Reticulum transport

The fixed LoRa repeater is listed separately from portable R-nodes. Public live discovery only includes interfaces their operators have chosen to publish.

Live sourceRMAP listens for opt-in Reticulum interface discovery announces. A marker appears only when a node publishes a location.
PORTABLE / FIELD NODES

R-Nodes

ADD AS THEY COME ONLINE

As you bring each R-node online, send its name, hardware, role, radio settings and the location area you want public. We can add them one at a time.

Open the live Reticulum map

RMAP tracks opt-in interface discovery and public location announcements across the network.

View live map ↗

RMAP blocks embedded views, so its interactive map opens directly on its own site. Only discoverable interfaces with a published position appear. How Reticulum discovery works ↗

RADIO WEATHER

Propagation

Live solar context, practical links and clearly labelled estimates for deciding which bands to try.

10.7 cm solar flux--Higher values often support higher HF bands.
Planetary K index--Lower is generally calmer for HF paths.
Sunspot number--Context for longer-term solar activity.
HOW TO READ IT

Practical guide

SFI 70–100Lower solar support; try lower bands and regional paths.
SFI 100–150Useful mid-band conditions may develop.
SFI 150+Higher bands can become productive when Kp is quiet.
Kp 0–2Quiet geomagnetic conditions.
Kp 5+Storm conditions may disturb HF propagation.
