Well yesterday morning I awoke to find these interesting things happening
on
145.175 .. Have a look at this stuff.. I usually dont run UI-Path for for
some odd reason I had run it up and noticed a few odd callsigns appearing
on
the heard list.. UI-Path never shows Igate traffic so this made me really
look twice..

It was comming in thick and fast for over an hour..

07:23:11R VK7ZSJ>APU25H,VK7ZSJ-1*,VK3WRM-1*,VK5RSC-1*,TRACE3 Port=1 <UI C
Len=57>:
=Ic:8XsFBr&  B* VK7ZSJ * Penguin NorthWest Tas * {UIV32}

Followed by our Igate..
07:23:18R VK7ZSJ>APU25H,TCPIP,VK5UJ-1* Port=1 <UI C Len=91>:
=Ic:8XsFBr&  B* VK7ZSJ * Penguin NorthWest Tas * {UIV32}

Also copied VK7RMD VK7RNW objects and VK7ZSJ-1 digi on the same path
shortly
after..

Mannaged to pass some messages and get VK7ZSJ out of bed.. I even got
ACKs..

07:47:37R VK7ZSJ>APU25H,VK7ZSJ-1*,VK5RMB-1*,VK5RSC-1*,TRACE3 Port=1 <UI C
Len=61>:
:VK5AH    :Hi, just saw msg, not a bad trip for this mode{28

This last message made it into VK5RMB-1 without going via VK3 ..

Also saw VK3MY-2 at about 0925 local as I was mobile and got a Bulletin
from
VK3MY-2 .. We dont see bulletins from VK3 via the Igate..
So all in all very interesting condx.. It would be chaos if most of VK3
was
on 145.175 I would say..
