Raglan Repeater on 145.675 MHz - 20 February 2010
The 145.675 MHz Raglan repeater in now off air permanently. This has been brought about by the construction of wind power generators around the site. It is hope to have the new Icom FR5000 repeater operational at Te Uku, on 145.675 MHz, by mid April, 2010.

Kaimai National System Node - 8 August 2009
The Kaimai node was removed this afternoon and taken to Hamilton for repair. Due to the intermitent nature of the fault, it is possible the node could be down for some time. However, we will be endeavouring to have it back on air as soon as possible.

IRLP Node on 695 - 29 July 2009
The IRLP node has been disabled due to no audio getting from the UHF receiver through to the 695 transmitter. This is a re-occurance of the same problem from a few months ago.
