Ducting

There is a good duct up the coast at the moment. A Bunbury station is using the Cataby repeater.

Cataby repeater is coming nicely right now (9+) and I'm just making out Busselton and Saddleback here.

Yeah I heard Cataby while driving down Leach Hwy last night, and even this morning along Reid Hwy and Middle Swan Road I was getting Mount William quite readably as well

awwww, I'd be joining in this weekend if I'd been sent the right remote head for my new toy...but they sent me the wrong one.

Well that's a bit of a bugger!

There was no chance of life being simple since the day God created women!

I was still getting Mt William up until lunch time. Couldn't make myself heard with 3w but managed to key it. Good stuff with the guys down south making Cataby. I heard FMDX hitting Cataby on the way to work as well. He was using an FT-817

There's a Bunbury station on VK6RAP at the moment. Sounding very very clear.

Barry HX? Spoke to him on Tic repeater about a week ago. Was a very good signal. It is now as well.

That's him!

I bet he's not using a Wang Chung and a rubber duckie

LOL! Well if he is then I'm obviously doing something really wrong

Cataby is coming in again and FMDX is having a go at it occasionally. Signal is only 1 or 2 here. Can you hear him, Meg?

Just having a listen to the Cataby freq now - not a thing here.

Crikey. It's completely dead now.
