Hi Ray,

Is your 20m transmitting anything or just listening.

I am at Gloucester (Taree) and could have a listen if you like.

Regards, 
Shaun Pitcher   Anyone can give me 10 reasons why it can not be done.  I 
need your skill and expertise to show me how it can be done.

Re: [OZAPRS] HF APRS






My TS430 is now on 14105.09khz USB and I have configured another port in 
xastir. My path is GATE.

I'll monitor the channel as much as I can in the hope that I can hear 
some traffic to net to.
