Hi Ian :-)
You are more than welcome, glad that I have been of some assistance.
It's good to see the usefulness of the list, and also to "Talk" to someone
closer to home:-)
When I was 23, I was laid off from the old New Zealand Post Office when it
was purchased by and is now "Telecom NZ". Started my own repeater networks
and ran about thirty channels for ten years. Got Itchy feet and went to PNG
for a while, and recently returned to work in the Hydro industry, (Much
safer, no shooting :-) but quite boring, no Landmobile!
I started what you are now doing and have learnt many tricks of the
trade in the last 12 years... It's the Australasian way to make a space
shuttle out of a coke can and a bit of #8 fencing wire. :-)
One learns fast when you have to put your own money on the line and
guarantee results!
Might be in OZ and around QLD mid next year ... It would be cool to
catch up for a beer :-)
Ive wasted enough B/W for now, If there is anything that I can do to help
you, please dont hesitate to give me an e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cheers
