One of the Microwave Relay Sites disappeared off the ACMA website today, but I think it might have been there by mistake anyway? It was only added on the 14th of March this year.

The northern of these two sites (pictured) was deleted and the link to the north was reassigned to the same site the other two links go to...

...and so...

Microwave Relay Site - GRASSY HILL (Lot 1 DP711216 Putty Road) - ACMA Site 200949

...has now been removed from the NSWGRN Map.

Site 1-25 - 416.5125 *new site* Sydney Metro Train Facility Administration Building 47 Tallawong Road ROUSE HILL NSW
Site 1-26 - 416.8125 *new site* NWRL Underground Repeater Castle Hill Railway Station CASTLE HILL NSW 2154

Im guessing these are the 2 new Metro Rail sites in the North West of Sydney

add these to Site 1-45 and 1-50 as peers

cheers

Thanks again Matt,

It's interesting that they've gone back and filled two early gaps in the list, that's the first time they've done that as I recall? Unless you mean that they should be sites 001-125 and 001-126??

(It would be MUCH less confusing if everybody added the leading zero(s) to make three-digit site numbers)

If they are 001-025 and 001-026, that still leaves 018, 019, 020, 023 & 031 vacant (on our list anyway), but I would almost bet that 023 is the other HV tunnel at Blackwattle Place, I wonder if they'll fill-in the others?

Before I actually add those sites I also need to double-check with you as I really feel that you may have 001-025 incorrectly identified (no offense intended).

According to the ACMA, the ROUSE HILL train facility's freq assignments are grouped with site 001-050 off Horsley Park (along with the Northmead Ambulance Super Station), so I would've thought it should be simulcast as site 001-050?

And 416.5125 does actually appear in the list for the other NWRL site at Castle Hill (Showground Railway Station), and it makes much more sense to me to have the two NWRL sites grouped together (plus that would mean there is a clump of underground sites in that portion of the list and they seem to like grouping them as well)?

Can you confirm??

Andrew

Copy so far...

Can you verify the location of 001-025?

I was only assuming the locations.

Thanks again to Matt, the following have been added to the list on page 1 of this thread and updated on the NSWGRN Map:

RFSS 001 Site 025 (BDA) - CASTLE HILL (NWRL Underground Repeater Showground Railway Station) - ACMA Site: 9026268
RFSS 001 Site 026 (BDA) - CASTLE HILL (NWRL Underground Repeater Castle Hill Railway Station) - ACMA Site: 9026265

I would guess that these two sites are just the bases for several stations in either direction along the North West Rail Link (or whatever it's called this week), and I don't think those additional stations need to be licenced on the ACMA so we'll have to wait until the line opens and someone can monitor from within each station before they can be added to the list (if they even need to be)?

Citabria has advised that Site 1-09 Razorback is currently running on its AltCC and has been for a few days.

A little bit of movement on the ACMA database today relating to the North Coast CCEP, but nothing that affects any listing here.

Looks like they're just moving some of the microwave links around where a few of the HSGA sites ended up at a different location to where the original link freqs were licenced. Some links were moved and others duplicated for some reason, but I'd expect the older duplicates will be removed shortly?

Do you have a scanner or software that's able to capture the NAC and/or a list of peers?

Andrew,

While in Mungindi, I tried to affiliate a RFS Radio to Site 286 to a Sydney GRN Channel, the Radio didn't affiliate to the site.

The site might be in standby mode, as none of the local Service's were aware of a New GRN Site just out of town.
