I've actually gotten to Australia on 20 meters late at night from here before (at least according to KiwiSDRs down there), so it's not impossible. But yeah, that doesn't happen too often during the day. Maybe as conditions improve we'll have better luck.
Although speaking of which, perhaps there's some value in a FreeDV iGate type of deal. Basically something that decodes received signals without retransmit and livestreams the decoded audio on one of the available services for that sort of thing. That would at least allow Americans to run it as we're only allowed to have repeaters on 10 meters and up. -Mooneer K6AQ On Thu, Dec 2, 2021 at 2:57 PM Bill Buhler via Freetel-codec2 < [email protected]> wrote: > I sure wish I could reach it, but alas my signal isn't getting to > Australia. > > 73 > > AF7SJ > > > > > Sent from my Galaxy > > > -------- Original message -------- > From: Al Beard <[email protected]> > Date: 12/2/21 1:35 PM (GMT-07:00) > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Freetel-codec2] "parrot" repeater on 18.118 now listening > only > > Hi again all, > > It's back on now and has been for a week now. > > Is there any interest at all or am I wasting time? > > Alan VK2ZIW > > On Mon, 15 Nov 2021 20:46:52 +1000, Al Beard wrote > > Hi all, > > Following the Activity weekend, 5/6 Nov. when I had my "parrot" > > repeater running here in Sydney Australia, nothing was heard. > > > > It's been running a week now.
