Yes - even on packet ;-) Not sure that he has 6m running still as only 
one 70cm radio port is showing up on XRouter. VK2RAG was allocated 
53.000 - did it ever operate?
I ran a 53.050 BBS/node port for some time but there was limited 
interest. There was more interest in using 53.100 at that time.
