I know this may come under many different banners - however i thought that since it does this would be the best place for it.

What are this years SYD-HB race freqs and sked freqs (both HF and VHF/UHF)

Thanks

I highly doubt a -200 would even attempt YPJT - with that lenght - "doable" but would be a "positive" landing and quite a squeeze getting it out if they ever wanted too. Prob have to get a dispo on the PCN as well i would think (without looking up the data) My money is on it neve...

getting a peice of metal that size from deceinding at a 3 degree gradient, to climbing at a 5 degree gradient can be very interesting Geez - must be a slug - 5 deg up - you typically get better than that OEI..... If all going well - try up around the 15 nose up - even 20 up if you go rated. Its not...

So now - who is doing the cocos/christmas run - since SAW are in VA ??

Erm - as i said at the end - it depends on the airline of course ... Trust me - there is a great variation on what you can/cannot do whilst on board the airlines - and they vary from airline to airline... That is one of the reasons the travelling public complain - well - X airline, we were allowed t...

There is no rule or reg that will stop you from user a scanner on board any flight. Firstly it will be up to security to allow it thru the screening point. Second - if the girls on board notice you using it - they may question you as to what it is and then confirm with the capt if allowed to be used...

Wel i finally got the 706 installed into the Prado - however only with 2/70 running at the moment. I am very keen to start experimenting with HF out of the Prado - however i am stuck as to what setup would be best. I am thinking of getting the SG-237 ATU and hooking it up to a 7-8' aerial - prob mou...

The rig is mounted in my Prado - the current aerial i am using is SBB-5 but i have a SG-M507 on its way. Thank you for your updates - yeh - it seems as soon as i move away from my house - the noise disappears ... just trying to figure out exactly what in my house might be the cause. As for shutting ...
