You usually make it to my gate most mornings unless 40m prop is horrid- which it has been a bit lately. My igate was down for many months following cyclone Yasi so the history is not good, plus has been down sporadically ( 1night here and there) recently while I reconfigure things.

All up and running now though, as I head off for my touring season on Saturday
