This was because I'm a lazy kind of guy, I've been meaning to upgrade my licence class for years but as usual I never get "round to it" so obviously I can't transmit on 30m (legally) but I wanted to have something on HF. Over the last 6 or so years it's had good use from VK2/3/5 & ZL. 40m is noisy and crowded on 7.036L (1800/1600Hz) whereas 20m is quite and not as crowded. </div>

I would think that you are more likely to get a response if you use
the established net frequencies as detailed at<br clear="none">

Gerard vk2io is the 20m HF net station ( <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" class="yiv6695741656moz-txt-link-freetext" target="_blank" href="http://www.aprs.net.au/hf/hf-net-stations">http://www.aprs.net.au/hf/hf-net-stations</a>

<div>Hi all, I'm testing a 20mx APRS gateway on 14.107L. My
rational is that I can beam across WA from here in Sth East
Australia to assist any travelers in the WA bush. I have a 3
element beam doing nothing and a rig. I chose 14.107L because
it is relatively quiet, 14.109 is chockers with OLIVIA and any
lower I get into beacons. If anyone in WA could test it out
that would be good.</div>
