Barry's pretty good at that. Might be a bit more action Wednesday morning as well.

Seemed pretty thin on stations last week. Maybe it's the wrong day of the week?

The sandbagger to talker ratio is too high.

Weds isn't great for me - get home, eat and go to sleep. Did drop in on the net the other week when we didn't have Ham College on the Tuesday night.

VK6WG in Albany worked 2 x VK5's on 2M SSB this evening.

My antennas are still down, but will be back in the air soon!

Nice one.
Sporadic E has also started up again on 6M. Port Pirie (VK5) TV signals on 50megs were heard in Perth yesterday.

Had a contact with VK6YCG (I think, from memory) late Sunday morning. He was in Busselton while I was in the car park of the Woodvale Library. We were talking through the Tic Hill 2m repeater and signal strength was near-on perfect :)

Impressive also because the Tic Hill voice repeaters are on the lower backup antennas at the moment. =D>

This morning many of the fringe repeaters are making it in quite well. It looks very weird outside... misty.

Edit: Heard what sounded like the Katanning repeater on 147.0 Pretty sure the ident was RAW. Is that repeater operational again? Last I heard it was off-line and going to be canned?

It's running thanks to 6LD and 6BL. (and others?)
