The Sunshine Coast Amateur Radio Club currently provides five amateur repeaters. The 2m and 70cm repeaters are located on the top of the Maleny Range and on Laguna Lookout at Noosa. These locations give excellent coverage of the Sunshine Coast. Mobile coverage extends south into Northern areas of Brisbane and past Gympie in the north.  At present, coverage to the west is limited by the close proximity of Bald Knob. Planning is well advanced for linking the Club’s two 2 meter repeaters.
