VERY quiet from my QTH, I've only confirmed hearing (and working) 2 stations.
I switched my 23cm over to work on my transverter yesterday and this morning I've damaged the pre-amp as I thought I could just manually switch it in and out, turns out if you forget it once, thats it.
Then something weird was going on with my 2m transverter in regards to reflected power, so that was it for me. Shut down in disgust.
Some nice contacts with VK3ER/p and VK3KQ/p. Up to 23cm no problems @ 347 and 398 km.
I guess the bad weather down south is possibly keeping people away from being portable. If only people had home stations.
