Sorry guys, I had to compose something in a flash for a church policy thingie. Worthwhile but it took the evening. Maybe next week (Mrs. Chili is out of town)?

Was nice to chat with Shark Bait last night.. been a little quiet lately on Mondays but with wheeling season in full bloom maybe some of you other guys will want to brush up your communication skills?
Pretty much any night at 9:00 is a good time to check in, but emphasis on Mondays.

A poster I can relate to. 
Up for a chit chat mate?
Speaking of "Old Technology," I am tempted to take my little VX7 "walkie-talkie"
and call up the Echolink/IRLP CRA 145.460 from OZ a week from tomorrow at 9pm. Never done that but it seems pretty easy....anyone wanna play? I know it's not fancy schmancy satellite or 'nuttin but I think talking to my "mates" from the other side of the world on 5 watts or less sounds kinda cool!
BTW....here is an awesome web site of nodes all over the world! Gotta love primitive technology! I mean pick up a "walkie Talkie," listen, ask permission with call sign, activate IRLP and tone in your node, talk to the world....free!
Looks like I'll be calling in on node 3990 which is the 147.225 (107.2) but is linked to the 460 machine so it should work. I will be calling in from Cairns, AUS.
If I can't get the Cairns repeater (sounds like it might be acting up) I'll try again the following Monday from Sydney. It would be very politically correct if one of you mates bring up on the 460 that I might be popping in.

Soooooo....tomorrow I fly to Cairns. I have no idea of how easy internet will be so I'm wondering if the proposed repeater/IRLP ragchew is still on? If the Cairns IRLP repeater is up I should know tomorrow after we get settled. I'll ping in Tuesday at 1300 (Monday 2100) and give it a try.....I'm still an IRLP virgin so this will be a new experiance for me. Soooooo the million dollar question is will I be chaqtting with just Sid or will I have some RS bloaks to chew with?

Sorry mates,
I spaced out as we were snorkling on Moore Reef at the time. I had my HT and I could ping the repeater hard but I lost track of time. Sydney should be easier next Monday so hopefully I'll chat with you then! Internet is bloody expensive up here in Cairns but we are flying to Sydney in a couple hours so I 'spect it will be much easier there. later mates!

I waslistening and didn't hear anyone. Little late (9:10PM or so). Thought I missed you, Kev.
Wes, Jeff and me where there. Did you have your squelch turned too high?
I was listening too, talked to Wes & Ken briefly.. but have to tell you reception for me is terrible lately. the HT seems to do a little better than the rig in the truck, depending on where I am, which is completely backwards.. but I can't hit a repeater from the truck in the driveway now. I have no idea what could have changed, other than the ionosphere is different in the summer? I swear last winter it felt like I could hit Kansas on simplex, now I'm in a black hole.
