Gday all,

Saw a thread here about something similar being heard on ch18, but that system isn't active anymore.

It's around 8pm now and not getting tails anymore.

Wondering if any of you ...

Hi all, as most of you have probably already seen, I've made a thread for anyone interested in monitoring PER05 and keeping it clear, so I figured it is fitting to also do the same for the other inputs.

This thread is for anyone who is interested in helping to keep channels 31 - 38 and 71 - 78 ...
