Newbie in Western Australia
Hi Folks, Just signed up for membership, and requested a call sign: 43FB202
Saw there are two other Australians listed in Directory, so good to see some other folks down under. Just bought an ICOM IC720A on EBAY, already mod for full coverage.
Looks like she'll output around 80w once I get antenna's sorted. I've been trying to build a multiband "fan" diapole antenna.
wow, didn't realize how much work it is just hanging up a few wires. I've got good SWR on a few bands, but 10 and 11 meter still pretty high, still trying to finish fixing those. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I can start DXing and chatting with you on air.

Hi, my Antipodean friend.
I spent a lot of good times in Oz - stayed a while in Temora and Geelong. Great Guys, Great Drinkers, and good Cobbers.
In fact, only had a couple of Roo Steaks this weekend just gone but no barbie due to bad weather!! (I guess they fly them here !!).
I hope you have good experiences with us, and look forward to meeting you on the air as we go into sunspot max. No 24.
Regards,
Terrence the Terrible
