It was moved from K-town about a month ago and has been in transit back to Perth.

I'll be starting from scratch... moving house in a few weeks so step one is going to be just getting a vertical up for FM on VHF and UHF

The rest will have to follow in time. At least I already have an all mode 2m/70cm radio

Indeed you did, via software on my iPhone so I don't know if it really counts

The Mount Barker repeater is S2 in Perth. I just had a QSO with VK6YAU mobile Albany and VK6WX.

Mt Barker repeaters is S2 and noisey with me tonight. Also a couple of locals apparently had a QSO via VK6REX Exmouth repeater. I did not hear it myself. It was reported on the logger. I did not realise it was operational but apparently is. Something else to listen out for. (146.850MHz)

Perth 2m and 70cm beacons very audible and about S4 on my vertical and Mt Barker 2m beacon just audible and visible on Spectran. Memo to myself, self, you must put up a yagi sometime.

Mt Barker is back at S2 I am using a Diamond X50 at 7M

S4 here (and heard something that might have been an ident on Albany 2m)

From a less than optimal location south of Bunbury today (mobile) - I was listening to VK6RLM, could not get back in, but could understand what was being said. Could also hear the internet link on 146.575, not sure where that is being broadcast from but it was clear.

On the UHF CB band I was able to access 476.475 (CH 3 Nannup) as well as 2x channel 6 repeaters on 476.550, one in Dunsborough and another somewhere further up north, can't remember it's exact location... perhaps Shark Bay?

Also another Channel 1 UHF CB repeater. The only UHF CB rig I have is a 5w chinese handheld, with a mag base on the roof of the car - so not too bad really when you think about it!
