[OZAPRS] A record DX for me, VK2HIM-1 --> VK7REC

[Michael Carey]

A couple of nights ago I was getting VK3 APRS frames via VK3ROW-1 South 
of Colac and then to VK5RAC-1 50km north of my QTH.
That hop was around 825km.
If you look here,
http://aprs.fi/info/VK3ROW-1
under the Stations which heard *VK3ROW-1* you will see VK5RAC-1 in the list.
I've had FM QSO's via the VK5RAC 2m repeater to a VK6 station at Mount 
Barker in WA (1675km), and then that station talked to a VK3 in Colac 
via the VK5RAC repeater, total distance ~2350km (with the repeater 
between them).
Michael.
