Busselton is coming through tonight, I just had a QSO with VK6NAH on it.

A very good duct was around this morning. I worked VK6ZUK via Cataby while he was mobile on one watt in the southern suburbs.
Nothhampton was S9 and Gero was S3.

About 6am this morning I put calls out on Gero (RGN) and Busselton while mobile, but nobody was awake. Very good signals. Also heard Northamton, Cataby, Mt Saddle, Mt Willy, Northam and Bunbury/Harvey repeaters quite well in Northern suburbs and Swanbourne.
Somebody said they heard the Kal repeater under RGN which is the same freq.
Most of the day the ocean had that weird misty look you often see when the duct is happening.
Probably more of it tonight and tomorrow.

I doubt it was Kalgoorlie looking at the Hepburn charts but Kattaning VK6RAW also on 147.00 Mhz

Probably. I think I posted something about hearing that repeater's ident a few weeks ago.
I would love to have somewhere to put up my 6m 5/8th right now, as well.

Ditto Cataby.

Lots o locals on them though. Do country folks actually listen to their repeaters...?

There was just a QSO on Saddleback but yeah most of the country repeater contacts I have made from Perth are to fellow Perth amateurs.

Gero is coming through.

Adelaide amateurs were copying the VK6RPH 70cm & 23cm beacons at Walliston around 6.00am local time this morning.

No QSO's made.

Cool - well done!

VHF/UHF sideband is something I want to get into too in the future...

Anybody know where VK6RPT is located at present? I have a feeling it was somewhere near Katanning a while back? I heard it ident and was wondering.
