[OZAPRS] VK1 reception issues? (Ian Mills)

[Renee and Tim Logan]

Not sure what is happening there guys, I followed VK1NFI all the way from
Canberra to Wagga last week on Ui View and he was getting into the Digi on
Ginini no worries, Then into Wagga once close enough.  Which side of
Canberra were you having issues ?
