Thanks Tony ,,

Ill be running on 30m using VK5EX-15 over the next 4 weeks whilst mobile 
towards Darwin. It'll be interesting to see what kind of propagation
exists 
on 30m through the journey. Ill be running a IC706MK2G, TinyTrak3,
Magellan 
315 GPS, Terlin set on 20m tap with an extra long whip ( ~ 1m) to gain 
resonance on 30m. Ill be listening on the normal 30m APRS frequency most
of 
the time as well whilst APRS is active. So when the noise isnt to high and

the volume IS turned up on the 706 , I should be a ble to respond to voice

calls as I did on the Kimberley trip two years ago. I look forward to 
speaking to some of you whilst mobile ..

Regards .. Andrew .. VK5EX
