Geraldton hates me. Staticky S1. Heard a caller just now

I just had a QSO on it with another Perth station.

I thought I heard my callsign but it was pretty bad. Somebody calling me?

Post by **VK6ZMS** » Sat Jan 17, 2009 4:39 pm

yep I did.

Is ROO active? Haven't heard that one. Giving RGN a go... the S has climbed to 9 here.

Raised VK6DE but I'm not making the repeater well enough on 15 watts

Need more grunt

A bit of lift tonight.. I just heard RGN identify. Cataby and Saddleback full scale, Northam varies between 5 and 9, heaps of QRM on REX.

...and I'm pretty sure I tripped the Northampton repeater.

Edit: Made a contact through Northampton repeater. Only managed a couple of overs and it dropped out completely.

Hearing Busselton repeater nicely right now, but don't think I'm making it in very well on 15w.

Hmmm dunno how well I'd go from my Quansheng - might give it a go from the car though and see what I can get a bit later on.

I heard Martin but don't think he heard me. Dropped out fairly quickly as well.

Nothing heard my end, someone did trigger it but no audio.

Just heard Mt Barker repeater but can't trip it myself. Lots of S from Cataby, Northam, Mt Saddleback etc. Somebody it zapping them every couple of minutes.

Just finally managed to get the Northam repeater and had an almost-QSO with robbage. One day later this year I'll have some more watts, maybe I'll be more readable then

The signal is up and down a lot from RAV at the moment. It went from bending the needle to S2 in a matter of moments. Nothing more from Mt Barker. Those guys need to peddle harder.

Cataby is s5 down in my little hole. Northam is about s2.

Can also get Saddleback s2 but in and out.
