Owing to the temporarily limited local coverage of the Tygerberg Repeater antenna on 145.750 MHz, the CTARC Sunday morning bulletins (the ZS6SRL SARL HQ Bulletin and the ZS1CT Club Bulletin) that start at 08h30 S.A.S.T. will transmit instead via the 145.600 MHz repeater on Hanskop at Sir Lowry's Pass. This frequency change is effective from Sunday 23 July 2017.
That repeater may well be linked to other Cape Peninsula-area repeaters if possible.
The bulletin will also be transmitted via Echolink and, if relay stations are available, on 7086 kHz and 3700 kHz, both Lower Sideband.

CTARC Repeater Mast Damage - 8 June '17
The massive storm on Wednesday 7 June 2017 didn't just destroy the CTARC's main beam antenna, it also blew over the radio mast on the Kanonkop high site as well, putting the 145.750 MHz and the 434.625 MHz repeaters out of action.
However, thanks to a heroic effort by Dave / ZS1SG, a temporary mast has been installed at that site and the 145.750 MHz repeater is back on air, although with slightly diminished performance, which is understandable considering the circumstances. The 434.625 MHz (70 cm) repeater remains out of action at present.
Therefore the Sunday morning bulletin WILL be transmitted on the 145.750 MHz repeater as per normal.
