"1.1km from Bill's QTH to the best beach in the world!"

It had crocs and the first of the stingers when I was there - far from the best beach but it is big and you can drive on it.

I was staying 500m away - I also should have gone and said hello had I known...

no-one yet has mentioned a 40m vertical mounted 3-4m up at the base?

Great session tonight see the pics for VK2IUW using the DX version of FELD HELL with longer letters in bold very interesting. VK3IH VK2DUX VK3KCX VK4LHD VK2XTC VK2EIK VK2GD VK3FM (not heard by me) VK4PHD (I think this was someone other than VK4LHD) Good fun and I copied VK2DUX on Olivia @7pm 'See' y...

Okay update: NBN appointed technician for 'insurance' jobs came and installed the new ODU on the roof that was second hand but had spent some time in the Erikson engineering section. He did this after confirming that it was the ODU and not the SM power supply WIFI etc. It has improved the situation ...

Yes I nearly forgot it was Tuesday as well after a busy ANZAC Day! 5 stations on Myself, VK3EDM, VK2EIK, VK5ZT and another. Propagation was poor and I was distracted by a shack visit from local F call VK3FETS who enjoyed seeing the contacts and the doubling where you could read two stations over the...

Its on again!

From the WIA: Belgium 1000 watts Canada 2250 watts PEP or 750 watts carrier France 750 watts PEP all modes on HF 120 watts PEP all modes on 2 meters Germany 750 watts PEP all modes Holland 400 watts PEP all modes Japan 1000 watts HF, 50 watts 2 meters Oman 150 watts New Zealand 500 watts PEP all mod...

Yes Wayne I agree only use the power you need should underlie this as it does in the US with their 1500W PEP limit. However I bet there are times when more power on CW or RTTY than 120W would have allowed a contact to be made. PS I don't see why contests are special? I would think a contact needed o...

The 1KW high power SSB trial completion included, if my memory serves me, a line from the ACMA saying that not many applied for the trial so it can't be of much interest........ :eh: This was wrong, the trial was promoted as just that, a trial for a few to try, it cost more $ and the implication was...

Another good night on Tuesday I logged on 1500hz: VK2DUX VK7BEN VK7MA VK2XTC and on 1000hz VK5RM I also heard/saw a VK3? early on who didn't call back in, a VK4WIS?? and I believe a VK7FGMG was RXing. Very interesting to see and hear the differences between signals and to see the VK7s disappear at s...

Paul, did you complain to your ISP about it (provider complaints) or via another avenue? I have also complained, got through provider complaints and in theory NBN now have it logged as a 'Service Fault' and will contact me in their own good time.........ie not yet. :cry: Paul not heard a peep back ...

Good turn up of operators for Hell On Tuesdays (HOT! HIHI) VK3IH VK5RM VK5ZT VK2DUX VK4LHD VK3AWG VK7BEN VK2GD VK4WDM and possibly others I may have missed, all nice decodes here though VK3AWG and I had a difficult path. At several stages in the evening there were two conversations going on side by ...

Some like minded souls are going to enliven Tuesday nights with: FELD HELL (Hellschreiber) 'digital' mode on 7037 Khz 6pm - 7pm Victorian local time. Come and play with digital modes fuzzy wunderkind........ Then after 7pm choose another mode you would like to have a go with, all liaison on VKLOGGER...

I quickly cobbled together a mobile station - TS480HX - old laptop and a mobile whip on boot lid and operated from Nyora in Sth Gippsland. Decodes for the time I spent on air were good VK2EIK / VK2DUX. I still need to get smoother with operating FLdigi though...... See you all next week from the hom...

TA! .

Excellent John, hope to hear you.

I MAY have to operate portable due to work but it will be interesting to see how HELL works with a mobile whip or a squid pole!

nice screen shot, I didn't take one but the VK2's were better than this at my QTH and the VK3's with IF DSP noise reduction were black letters on pure white background with no phasing (slanting of writing) issues at all two lines of text like they were typed on the screen, very impressive. I await a...
