[OZAPRS] 40m gates working well

[Tim Logan]

Thanks Gerard and Scott,
I haven’t been out to the centre for a while, but in years gone by when Larry was running in SA and you guys to the east and far far south 40m worked reliably for me right through central aus. 
I’m only going as far as central SA this time, work not leisure..
