[OZAPRS] VK3 APRS News Update

[Richard Hoskin]

I don't have the in-depth details as I've not seen the site recently but
I've been told the sheep in the paddock took a liking to the mains supply
line and chewed through the supply cable twice.

There are now 2 less sheep in the world and work is required to sheep proof
the supply line with gal conduit after the area has been secured.

Cheers
