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!

Life is never simple :(

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.

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 :D

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.
