Hi everyone,
Due to severe interference, lousy location and other issues (The missus), I have closed down my Amateur station at my home in East Innisfail, QLD.
I will now only be operating portable and have had my licence conditions changed accordingly.
Equipment will be an FT847 + FC 20 ATU, wire for HF and 5 elements for 6M, 10 elements on 2M and 17 elements on 70cm, all mounted on my 15M tower trailer.
I have over 700A/H of battery capacity plus a genset available so operation almost anywhere is an option.
I will be operational whenever I can get away for a weekend even a for couple of days mid-week.
Messages will be left both here on this board and on the vk-vhf mail-list as appropriate when I head out and will indicate when and where I will be.
It's not the best outcome, but I am happy with it.
Here's the tower trailer loaded with VHF/UHF antennae.

We could pass the hat around for a DIY Divorce Kit.
Would that be of any help? !!!

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that it may incriminate me.........VK4CP wrote:We could pass the hat around for a DIY Divorce Kit.
