Shouldn't be a major problem since the Wannaroo repeater gets so little use anyway.

While the Southern Electronics Group licensed their 70cm repeater frequency back in the early/mid 90's, there hasn't been a repeater until now, while the Ch.1 CB Club licensed their repeater on the same frequency in 2004.

Much of the 70cm band is unused and it is interesting that the same frequency was assigned for 2 repeaters.

Well done! I heard Mt Barker repeater ident this morning, very clear. (No it wasn't Mt Barker in VK5 :-)

Tropo is looking very good for Sunday but will be a real concern for firies that day. (Winds & temps look bad.)

Cataby coming loud and clear again tonight. That must be every night for the last week or so.

Also listening on Mt Barker.

I could just hear you. It looks like a path will be open early tomorrow.

Had a nice QSO with VK6GHZ last night via Cataby. Was up at the Zig Zag and it was 20 over 9 running 1 watt. Duncan had the handheld inside the house and was getting Cataby well.

Other repeaters heard were Geraldton and Northampton. Nothing from the South though. Was about midnight.

Might go for another expedition later tonight. What time is it looking like coming on, my guess is about 9pm.

If anyone else is keen to catch some of the conditions let me know as we will be out and about.
