[OZAPRS] HF Mobiles or about to become HF Mobiles?

[G T & C A Beagley]

Brian and others.

I am beginning to suspect poor antenna sytems are not the problem with 
HF APRS. I hear a lot of signals here suffiently strong that they should 
decode but they won't. I suspect it has a lot to do with the quality of 
signal being transmitted. Also being spot on frequency helps.
VK3MY and a few others are decoded virtually all day every day. W1UP is 
quite regularly decoded. ZL3RX is nearly always decoded when he's on 
30m. Most others are rarely decoded yet are just as strong. Your sigs 
(VK4BBS) are decoded sometimes and usually more than most. Antenna is a 
trapped dipole.
As yet I havent tried any TNC other than my DSP2232 but am hoping to try 
a soundcard soon when I have some spare time and see how it compares.
