Hi Dex...have a listen around 7.178 MHz for VE6RAC. I worked hime 1,600 miles with 7 watts BITX40 from Ontario. Also hearing New Brunswick Canada on the east coast so my prop is east west right now 0115 zulu. Maybe we can stretch the band and work you "down under dar"!!! Might have to light up a path with 100 watts 1st. Good luck.
