[OZAPRS] VK2RGL-1 (CabbageTree Mtn) now operational

[Shaun Pitcher]

Sorry, wrong pre amp location.

I will zip outside now and fire up the APRS and just leave the car sit 
where it is and see if a packet gets through.  I am approximately at Bucca 
Wauka.

Still dramatically better coverage than without it, so my thanks once 
again to those who made it happen.

Regards, 
Shaun Pitcher

Cabbage Tree is a VERY busy site so there could be any number of reasons 
why performance isn't meeting predicted values - antenna way down the 
tower from anticipated level, desense from another service, etc, etc, or 
the rx might have had a heart attack, it can happen.
