Need more info on 55 MHz radar at Carnarvon
Hopefully the new radar system on 55.0 MHz at Carnarvon airport could indicate multi-hop Sporadic-E, SSSP etc. to South Africa. I would appreciate some more dope on it,. Thank you Mike, ZS2FM

Drop them a line to find out the activation hours of the radar. The Carnarvon station might not be 24 hour operation (most regional stations aren't).
