Have been testing 145.700 but nothing as yet from Hervey Bay. 146.800 is the local Bundy repeater so give that one a miss.
Not set up to Rx on 90 mhz very well. Will post if anything happens.

Re: Back on 23 cm
Just to add Len, I am in QG64KO and have just had my 1296 repaired. Antenna is a grid pack and 20 watts out. I am low 10 mts but a good take off south. Just need to get things up in the air, working on the problem. Health problem at the moment but should be hot to go by Christmas. The path to Brisba...

Re: Active Marine Tracking paths VK4
Nothing here Leigh. I am up early and the radio sits on 146.800. This gives me B/berg FK8 Nth/NSW (never worked from home) and NZ. Have been some rock crushing openings from B/berg but no FK8 .
Thanks for the posting.

Re: Change VK6RST to be VK6RWG?
I also agree with VK5PJ Peter’s idea of naming of VK6RWG beacon. Also Scott’s VK4CZ noble thoughts of tipping in a few BD if required, count me in on that idea. Matt’s VK2DAG summer field day, a fantastic idea. VK6 have a beacon and the rest of VK remembers this man with this field day, how good is ...

I do remember this. I and had a copy of some notes he sent around at the time on 144 Mhz to JA. From memory he would scan the Bell pocket pagers freq, they were close to 144 mhz. So that would be a start, BUT who uses pocket pagers any more :?: . Would like to see more info on this subject matter. K...

Re: WSPR 2m frequency ??
Good evening Adrian VK5AW
My WSPR programme advise is RX 144.489 and TX 144.490409. That is the WSPR programme and not WSPR in WSJT7. I have not had a RX report on it yet, so it's a very quiet wisper.

Re: VK Weekly 28 & 50 MHz WSPR Stats
Thanks for the report Leigh.
As we head into the solar cycle this could give us good leads to whats happening and where to look.
If you have time a once a month report would be a good read.
Keep up the good work .
