<DIV>G’day Andrew, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just had a bit of a look at your track. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What are the roads around Birdsville like right now? I’m heading there in a
few weeks time via the Flinders Ranges. I think the Digi at VK5RAE (Mt Arden)
runs out at Leigh Creek. Michael VK5MW (ex VK5ARD) used to run a Digi at Roxby
Downs but I think it’s long gone now. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As for Alice Springs, I thought a while ago that there was an ex-VK2 that
moved to Alice Springs and set up a repeater (or two) and an APRS Digi. But,
CRAFT has set in this way and can’t recall what happened. I’ve done a search and
can’t see any Digi activity for a while. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Hi guys,<BR><BR></DIV>Just arrived in Alice springs, I have an interesting
track across the Simpson desert via the ISS.<BR><BR>I did notice that I havent
been received for two days I think that is due to the battery voltage dropping
overnight due to the fridge running and in turn the transmitter runs out of
puff... (that is on the second battery). <BR><BR></DIV>Whilst I am running
around Alice is there a local digi here? is it worth adjusting the frequency of
the radio?<BR>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Thanks :-)<BR>Andrew<BR></DIV>
