I got some for you.

Drove over the gateway bridge here in Brisbane.

My car, via PCSAT, picked up in New Zealand

Well, I was pleasantly surprised this afternoon as I managed quite easily
to
have my position received via PCSAT.
I drive two hours to and from work and I have been monitoring PCSAT as
well
as TXing via the regular APRS frequency.
At around 6:30pm ESST I faintly heard PCSAT so I fired off my position via
a
THD-7 into a 30w amp attached to a
1/4 wave rod antenna on my car. I didn't get acknowledgement back on my T7
that the packets were received but the
following from findu confirms I got through:

VK2HIM-7>S4T3W2,PCSAT-1*,WIDE2-2,qAo,VK3JTM-5:`NM_!6
>/>"3w}
VK2HIM-7>S4T4V8,PCSAT-1,VK7HSE-1,VK7RAD,WIDE2*,qAo,VK7HDM-12:`NM

@5>/>"4.}On UHF repeater
VK2HIM-7>S4T4X1,PCSAT-1,VK7HSE-1,VK7RAD,WIDE2*,qAo,VK7HDM-12:`NMKnf~>/>"4:
}

The last time I tried was over a year ago and I didn't have any trouble
then
either, and this was using the 5W THd7 without a 30w amp!!

Cheers
