Rain Scatter - potential in SE VK4 Sat
Latest WX modelling and forecast for tomorrow provide a high probability for some severe to super cell formation. Hopefully there will be operators avail for 1.2, 2.4 and higher activity! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181116/9496ee0a9d09c5bff7f9e24ef8f05fdc.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/...

23-on-23 - building activity
It's now probably close to 5 years since 23-on-23 Activation Events started. And whilst interest still exists and is slowly building [at least in VK2 - they were slow to learn], the overall level of participation remains low compared to the stated capability - just scan through VKLogger operator pro...

VK4 Activity summary [includes a 144MHz QSO] - unfortunately from comments, not all QSOs were acknowledged so what was achieved will remain unconfirmed [emoji6].

Re: Using FT-857 or 897 with transverters
Correct Hayden - notorious for the spikes. You would need to be confident in being able to attenuate or manage the TX before using either as an IF... but whilst not impossible, the use of the FT-817 [as it can only deliver the max of 5 watts] is a more suitable/safer option.

Re: 23-on-23+MAD - Sunday September 23, 2018
Roger Unfortunately the distances achieved during this months MAD don't resemble the 300km you referred too. Due to the topography of SE VK4 Its very difficult to get anything much over 200km. If you search the reported QSOs [map of reported QSOs below], the longest one achieved during the activatio...

23-on-23+MAD - Sunday September 23, 2018
This coming Sunday, Sept 23rd, is the next 23-on-23+ MAD . :wtf: It's now become common practice, that where the 23rd falls on a weekend the events operating time are shifted from the evening to a day-time activation event. This has also allowed operators to take full advantage of the time, and head...

Will be trying hard to escape QRL in time, but it's unlikely.

Will still be well short of being able to claim 'seniors moments' by then... So Allan... I should still be available (will be the same age as you).

Re: 23 on 23: Tuesday August 23rd 2016
Robert,
No problem... being a 'school night' I'm always a less than 50% chance... as I need to get away early (that should be on time) or avoid EU based teleconferences.
But we'll keep the ball rolling. Catch you in September!
