[OZAPRS] Hamfest this Long weekend

[Ben Lindner-VK5JFK]

Hi Geoff,

I haven't been able  to put any thing on maps for a few months now, as 
there has been a lot of money spent on a complete no radio shack. So I 
have been only running my Wx station and digi peater and I am probably 
the most active APRSer in our radio club out of 50+ members.

cheers
Ben
