Subject: [OZAPRS] VK4RTW personal observation, VK4RAi-3, VK4GME-3,VK4VP
and VK4DMI-4(HF)
Hi
Just from personal observations only, whilst unfortunately with no
stations operating in the northern areas, I see that whilst VK4RTW has an
excellent coverage to the East right into Brisbane it does not appear to
have an coverage at all from SSW through to SSE not sure of its location
guess there is a hill or two blocking coverage in that area.
I suspect that it will have excellent coverage from North around to South
South East (SSE) be looking forward to see traffic heading out into the
areas that I suspect it will cover very well. Will be very interesting to
know its coverage in and around Toowoomba itself and out into the Darling
downs.
This morning I have noticed VK5KFB-9 and VK4CUA-9 mobile.
It was interesting to not that whilst it moved from one to another as
VK5KFB-9 passed through this area it had excellent results all the way
through with both VK4GME-3 and VK4RAI-3 covering it just about all the way
but not one beacon was seen to pass through VK4RTW-3 which enforces my
belief that it does not cover the SSE to SSW west area at all. Even when
VK5KFB-5 pass over the range and on top of the range at Cunningham's Gap
VK4RTW-3 I am sure did not see it.
VK4CUA-9 has covered the area that Des VK4DMI have tested previously and
it was good to see that VK4RAI-3 covered some of the pockets previously
missed out.
I feel that with VK4GME-3 and VK4RAI-3 we have excellent VHF coverage
South and West to the range and even slightly beyond there are some dead
spots in and around the Gold Coast that a local Gold Coast digipeater
would take care of. I believe that the local Gold Coast digi will be back
on shortly.
We really need to know the coverage of both VK4RTW-3 and the Gateway VK4VP
on the Sunshine coast both of which are really unknown at present, all the
traffic appears to be in the southern area of SEQ be interesting to see
other traffic around in other areas particularly those covered by VK4VP
and VK4RTW-3.
Regarding HF coverage of late we would appear to have reasonable coverage,
subject to band conditions, just about anywhere at present.
The VK4DMI-4 HF gateway appears to be carrying the majority of HF traffic
that is heard within the range covered by it's skip, whilst local HF
traffic is favoured by the skip to the VK3 and ZL HF gateways.
Be interested to hear from others in the South East corner of VK4 along
with coverage of digipeaters in other areas of the state.
Any one aware of any digipeaters or gateways in the Northern Rivers or
adjacent areas of VK2?
