Good to see you are enjoying it Christie!

Jon (VK6NOW) and Steve (VK6ST) were on last night for the first time.
Unfortunately i was only able to listen as i am still waiting for my
full call to come through and i can't hit the repeater from home. 

I was listening to them talking to some stations in San Diego and it was
like they were right next to me on simplex. Also tried some other
stations at Jon's place this afternoon in the UK.

Well done to all involved getting this online!

Best Regards
