Thanks Scott, 
I've been sending beacons on the new frequency but am only getting into VK2UMZ-2, have you guys in Tas changed frequencies ? I was always reliable into Tas on 40m from NSW.
No sweat, just making sure I have things setup correctly at my end.
Cheers

I've tried running at 100W and it just messes up our PVR no matter what RF shielding I've tried! So lower that 50W keeps it happy (actually my wife happy!)
