I do concur with everyone else thoughts also. Thanks so much Adam. I too deactivated my FB account for maybe 12 months and true to word life became mine again LOL. It really did become the anti-social network however so many requests from amateurs to get back on I did but keeping very quiet. Now tha...

I didn't hear many Melbourne stations but gave a few numbers on 2 and 70 to 3KQ in Blackwood forest at 250km away. I'm too far for anyone on 1296 but had it running all weekend nonetheless.
Swung the beams to Canberra and made a few contacts, plus Wagga Wagga. Not a boo from Albury.

That's a great idea Brian, I'll put that one in the memory bank.

I'll be QRV from QF33FW We should have no problem working you in Rutherglen, Theo - we can work stations in your neck of the woods most of the time. Listen out for us VK3KQ/p in QF22DM - we'll be the ones with chattering teeth in sub zero temperatures :wtf: . And if your friends with my old mate Ga...

I'll be QRV from QF33FW, home station so just handing out a few numbers on 2/70/23.

Since I took over the Amateur Radio portfolio 4 years ago at Icom the pricing has been 100% on parity with all overseas markets. I negotiated heavily with Icom Japan to make this happen for Australian Hams as I was sick and tired of exactly the comments above. Take a look at the IC-7100, IC-5100A an...

Thanks Ian.
Hopefully I'll be back on air as soon. Just waiting for a mast bracket for the rotator as I've moved into NE Victoria. Looking forward to hetting back on air.

Hey Richard. That wasn't the real reason. Not here to start any arguments nor thread wars etc. regards ARES in NZ, they're a great group of people. and managed by like minded individuals, this thread had gone off track already..

Update every minute and you can never get a full 60 second sync. You should update every 30 minutes at most. That's of course if you're using that particular pc for radio, digi modes etc If you're using it for data management, that's a totally different matter, 1 minute updates are fine. Sent from m...

Do an ACMA database search on the exact frequency and area. Do you live close to a golf course? They use a lot of telemetry for watering systems, typically the Toro and Rainbird systems. Pretty easy to track.

RIP to a great old fella.
As with a few others, Bob was my introduction into top band in the 80's and 90's.

VK3HK doesn't have any 23cm gear if that's what you're asking?
