I run a bbs on 40m so that band is out of the question here. 20m, 
however, is essentially not used for bbs traffic so I'm happy to move 
the radio to aprs. The radio is a TS430 running around 40W to a dipole 
at 45'.

The antenna favours 120/300° which takes a line roughly through Alice 
Springs, Halls Creek and Derby in one direction, and ZL in the opposite 
direction.


Richard, do you have the preferred USB suppressed carier frequency for 
1600/1800Hz tones handy?
