[OZAPRS] Re: HF Freqs for VK APRS

[Warren VK3BYD]

Rob and others,

I have had good success with 10 Mhz over the 200Km path to Melbourne in

worked better than expected.
However it would be better to have a 10Mhz gateway running in VK4 & VK6 in
addition to the VK3 one to provided a VK & ZL? coverage.

Warren.
