yes, i would love to see a 4m band in Australia. as someone who love low band VHF, i would most certainly give my support. i just hope on the hope that standards will have 4m too. there
are already off the self radios ready to go with 4m.

"Everybody is listening on 50.110 so no amount of calling by us on any other frequency is pointless"

oh! happy days now this is how i feel sitting on 52.100 all day long.

so lets get a bigger perspective on the matter.

congratulations!!

that is unbelievable, my license run out on the the 5th and i still had not received the renewal notice and therefor payment slip and so i called them up and they sent it to me straight away in pdf. so after i printed it out and took it to the post office, i looked at the postbox and there was the r...

now this is interesting, i have been (and will continue) running 100 watts on "SSB" SSTV ever since standards could use sstv. it was always my understanding that it's 100 watts ssb regardless of mode and 30 watts max on AM/FM regardless of mode? why is it not that simple???? another point....

this is really cool, thanks

Thanks for the link and reminder, i just looked at mine and I'm good. but on this subject, the ACMA never sent me a station License this year and although i paid and i am in the system
i have not got the paper for 14/15 year, so did anyone else have this happen to them?

it's interesting all the pics a heavily slanted, including mine, i thought it was just me so i redid
my slant correction that just made everyone else off down on HF.

it was not like that back in December?

what do you all think?

i must agree, online streaming is a big help. about 5 or so weeks ago when i was getting lots of Japanese FM stations coming in here on 76 to 88Mhz, i did a online search of the frequency and coming up with 3 or 4 hits all in japan. but one had a working streaming link and it was the song that i hea...

just got another off the very side , (very low elevation) at 2AM

no, not yet but i will, just wanted to make sure before i bother the seller with this question. but now i know I'm not the only one that can't see it lol. i am new to this sdr thing and so i thought maybe it was something everyone is supposed to know? the SDR unit came with a usb cable and that's it...

on the subject of SDR's, the other day i got an SDR from e-bay. it came from Moscow of all places. on the e-bay web site it says "SOFTWARE (DOWNLOAD FROM WEBSITE)" but i don't see website to go to to get this software, so could someone help me out with this? i dose say i can e mail them wi...

where did he say he got this transmitter from? if just a miliwatt job well than ok, but you can get some much higher powered 0.5/ 1/5/10/25/50 watt cheap Chinese 88 to 108mhz transmitters from e bay without legal certification at all. it seems anyone can be a radio station now :) http://www.ebay.com...

i have both a vk8 and vk4 calls because life is the late 20th and early 21 first century's is uncertain and you never know when you have to up and move again. many Australians are on the move at any one time. yes the call should reflect where your living but it should also take into consideration th...
