Re: DX reports (FM and repeaters)
G'day All,
Great ducting up the West Coast this morning.
Managed an APRS beacon from near Nerren Nerren back to RTH-3 with a hop of 542.7kms!. Equipment used was a Byonics MT-AIO and a Tri-Mag Mount base with a SG7500. Output on the MT-AIO is currently 21W.
This was mobile whilst travelling northbound on the North West Coastal Hwy at 2141Z (30NOV).

It is very dark.
You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

30w Alinco amp I believe. Drive on the output of the Big Yellow Bee is wound down a bit so it won't cook.VK6ZMS wrote:Noice !

Re: DX reports (FM and repeaters)
I'm told all you need to do is set your APRS frequency to 145.825 and no obstructions and you'll have a pretty good chance of hitting it if it's in your airspace? (Assuming the other locals aren't pounding it every 3 seconds)
