Henry, Alister, Ric, Peter , Michael and myself were among the group who on Sunday morning completed the clearing and cleaning of the radio room and deposited the rubbish in a skip. Further work is not planned until after the holidays and then most likely as before on Sunday afternoons
 The national system link to the rest of the system southwards is not working. I have heard that the signal from south of Napier is not reliable and if this is so  be aware that transmissions on the local national system repeater may be heard over the whole system even though nothing is  heard locally from other stations on the system.Therefore brief calls only on the local national system repeater are suggested to avoid  possible transmissions on the system which we can not hear any replies
 Further checks on the possible cause of the problem will be carried out when possible
