[OZAPRS] VK HF Gates

[Michael Carey]

I whipped up a quick 3.5mm to DIN lead last night after work and set up 
my MFJ-1278 on 300bd HF packet and tuned my Kenwood TS-50 to 10.147.1 
MHz. I'm looking at the serial output of the TNC with hyperterm.
In 12 hours I've received one VK4DMI-4 packet and heaps of VK3MY-4 
packets throughout the night. I'm in Port Lincoln, I have yet to work 
out path lengths. I'm gonna leave it set up for a few days and log what 
happens.
I've been thinking of setting up an HF I-Gate, (my wife hates it when I 
get thinking like this!). It would probably be RX only because I was 
going to get it 20 Km out of town at a friends farm, using an old Codan 
X2 HF, link the TNC back to my QTH with a serial over ethernet solution 
via a community 802.11b wireless network. I have a surplus Moonraker 
Delta antenna (brand new!) that could be "aimed" North West into the 
heart of VK6.
Regards,
Michael.
