OK now you're just showing off :P

If you could get an ISS contact while out that way, it'd cap the trip off nicely!

The last time I drove across the Nullabor, one evening (near Cocklebiddy I think) I could hear every FM station from Perth to Adelaide. Freaky. I didn't know what ducting was.

No FM DX this time around Rob. It's been raining a windy for the past two days...

I would love to make a contact via the ISS Doug but the ISS Digi is off-air :evil:

ISS Digi is back up and running =D> Tonight I managed to get a few packets gated by various SGATE's across Australia. First time for me into VK7!
