[OZAPRS] BMARC Expedition to Poeppels Corner

[Gerard Hill]

Does anyone know if the PC-09 crew are operational on HF APRS yet? Not a 
single beacon has been heard from the group on 40m so they may have had 
some problems. A couple of new gates in VK5 have appeared so there are 
now 4 or 5 stations that should hear them. The VK5 gates are being heard 
in Sydney so there is *some* propagation. Also, contact was made on 40m SSB.

I think we just need to be patient.

Cheers ... Gerard
