Cool stuff tonight. Heard Busselton on my HH as well, but not for long. Saddleback, Mt Willy clear as day, Cataby was coming stronger than Roleystone for a while. Trust my luck to be working late.

@Gav. I think a length of wet spaghetti would be ok tonight. I got my Comet SB-15 today despite Austpost's best efforts to lose it. Installed it and the first thing I heard was RCT 9+, parked under 11kV lines with trees all round. :shock:

Don't forget to keep an ear out for Mount Barker and Albany repeaters and the beacon in Barker.
