hehehe.. funny shit. Somebody puts their Ch35 simplex repeater on.
I get the same station here in Tamworth CokeB.

I've had lots of Sporadic E to lots of places.
Bundeburg, Brisbane, Gympie, Rockhampton, Cairns, Toowoomba.
Sydney, Canberra, Newcastle, Hunter Valley (This is a short hop of less than 100km)
Melbourne, Bendigo, Geelong and a few misc Tasmania.
Adelaide, Alice Springs, Katherine and Darwin.

I've also heard the usual VK2,3,4,5,7 and ZL beacons on 10m with the same range of stations.

Even 6m has been busy. I've heard a VK5,ZL4 and VK4 on 6m.

What I find strange is that I haven't heard any 26MHz NZCB traffic. It's as if NZ doesn't use HF CB anymore.
Even calling on 26.500.... nuffin, not even another aussie.
