Channel 3 Admin's blurb.

Channel 3 is situated centrally, and to the west, of the Gold Coast. It has good coverage of the Gold Coast - when it works. It is currently experiencing technical problems, it overheats and breaks down.

Channel 3 has been plagued by technical probelms for years. Every time one problem is fixed, another one crops up. Could channel 3 qualify for the bodgiest CB repeater in Australia?
