*laugh*, you two would probably have more luck on simplex, y'know
I'm pretty sure we have done! But the Northam repeater has been eluding me, and it's (comparatively) so close by! Been driving me nuts

Tonight - yes, though not always, just occasionally. I was about to take it out of my scan group when it ident'd.

Sounds as if a weak signal is just making it into the repeater for fairly lengthy periods. Meg broke it
Edit: The ident sounds fine. RX side certainly

Unless I messed up the programming of my hand-held, I think I'm getting into Busselton. Something beeped at me but nobody came back. Anybody else?

Good ducting right now to a few repeaters. Cataby, Mt Willy, Saddleback, Busselton, Harvey all strong.

It's been full on all day. Can't get Busselton any more but I'm raising Cataby using 1.5w

Sure are. Looks like a callback on Saddleback this morning.
