VK6RLM was WARG's 3rd 2 metre Perth
repeater and was the testbed for the FM880 project. This repeater has
an interesting history. At one time it had a 3 second time out. At another time it was linked to a 29MHz simplex FM Gateway. The repeater was linked to VK6RUF for the WARG Sunday net. This repeater has been relocated to Roleystone, just a few hundred metres from the VK6RAP site. How history repeats itself, as this site is where Perth's (and VK6) first repeater was installed way back in 1971...! The
new repeater is not the original FM880 but an Icom IC-FR5000
