[OZAPRS] VK2UNI-1 Near Taree/Wingham

[Ray Wells]

Simon,

The SPLAT plot from the digi site indicates a lack of coverage each side 
of Bobin, about 7km on the Wingham side and about 6km on the Elands 
side, although ridges along the road in those area appear to have 
coverage. The ridges around Elands should have good coverage. However, 
keep in mind that the plot was done at 80' and the antenna is currently 
20'. On the plus side a gain antenna is installed and the plot was on 
unity gain, so a bit of a trade-off there.

If you can remind me via this list, of privately, before you depart 
Sydney, I'll set the tracking on in xastir and produce some plots of 
your travels.
