Some of the active hams on DATV in the mid north of Spencer's Gulf region.
DATV repeater, VK5RDC, test pattern.
Almost daily DATV activity by some active ATVers.
Each Sunday night, Bevan, VK5BD, produces a show, starting at 7pm local on the VK5RDC DATV repeater. Content includes both the WIA News video along with local weather forecasts and usually a further video or two of interest. The show concludes around 8pm, followed by video callbacks and local 2m repeater callbacks.
Well, what happens every other night of the week? Similar thing, I'm afraid ...! Hi! Some of the local amateurs put on a show, usually starting around 7pm and finishing any time after 8pm - although it seems to be getting longer;). This daily session of various interesting content, is followed by video calbacks and also 2m local repeater callbacks. This allows for general comments on the show content and related topics of interest.
The best thing about all of this, is that the content is usually quite interesting, the topics/shows can be quite varied and best of all, no adverts!
In no particular order ...
