Hi Alan, Perhaps someone from Canada or Mexico on this list is interested. I can provide assistance if that's the case but I don't know if I can put up anything myself in either of those two countries.
As for 17 meters, I imagine it's fine as the band's been open more and more lately. Perhaps you (or someone else in Australia) can start up a weekly/daily net (similar to what Jose LU5DKI and his group in Argentina does) to get some more usage over in VK land as well?
