Cool. That's all the current 30m stations, except one.

Interesting. Is VK1KLW is on 30m?  That's an 800Km trip if direct on
VHF. More likely to come out of the VK5 IGate, and VK3WRM's VHF port has
heard it from there.

heard any VKs on frequency on 30m.  Couldnt resist that!  But I will do my
best to get some back to 30.   I myself  am unlikely to beacon from my
base on HF, mostly because of other homes close by.  I do beacon on VHF of
course.  However I do want to get my HF going on 30m in my car, in additon
to the VHF (currenly running a HamHUD) already there, as there are not
many VHF digipeaters near where I roam.

What 40m frequency do they operate on?
