[OZAPRS] vk2rcc-1

[Ray Wells]

I didn't (still don't) have HF readiness but I did have VHF so I threw 
it in the cat with a GPI high on the roofbar. Had rcc been functioning 
I'd have little to complain about re coverage. There'd still have been a 
hole as I trekked from Gulgong through the Bylong Valley but that was 
anticipated.

Having run a HF gateway for a number of years (and again soon) I'm quite 
conversant with 30m aprs and that is now my aim. I doubt I'll run both 
HF and VHF due to vehicle constraints.
