[OZAPRS] Field Day

[Pete]

Richard/Darryl

Firstly thank you both for your efforts. I didn't really think about it but perhaps for next year put me down as a portable station as I usually have the h/h with me. You could show how to track so Done and send them a text..

You could also show how with knowing my lat long u can cut past into echo link and send me a SMS to meet you on the local e/l repeater.

Sorry I didn't think of this sooner... For next year? Maybe even ISS/SMS  if the tracks are good?

Regards
Peter Wicklein
