6.6 Mike Bravo, BK3KK, that was the Trans-Tasman contest, Jeff, the Trans-Tasman contest, that's what we did. There's actually another reason why I've come to Melbourne today, so Melbourne's about an hour and a half's drive from where I normally live, so I left at lunchtime locally here today to come down here, it is an absolute nightmare if you were to come to Melbourne during peak hour traffic, it is an absolute nightmare and that's one thing that I refuse to do because I haven't got any patience, not when it comes to traffic, I don't anyway. So I took an extra day off and I drove down here at lunchtime to go on the roads when it's nice and quiet and yeah, it all went like a breeze, so you've got to leave at the right time when you come to Melbourne now these days, you've just got to leave at the right time and it's always worthwhile. Anyway, but tomorrow morning there's a local net on 160 metres AM and I've been listening to this net for about five years and I listen on one of the local, on one of the local, on the SDR receivers which isn't too far away from where all the guys are. So five years of listening on this net, I'm going to be a part of the net tomorrow morning as albeit Steve's place and he's within a pretty close proximity of all the stations which are on this net and they operate at AM on 160 metres so that's my main purpose for coming down to take part in this net for an hour tomorrow. But it's always been on my bucket list what to do and we're finally going to get there. AP6MB, ZK3KK, back to you. Oh okay, that's great you're going to do that. Yeah, that sounds like a lot of fun. You know, after you listen to that one amount of time and actually be able to get on and partake of it, that's got to be a bit of a thrill and yeah, that just sounds great and yeah, I just really don't know of anybody personally that does 160. I'm sure they're out there but I actually have not known anybody that has and I'm kind of interested on these guys' antennas. These are pretty much short and quarter wave antennas. These two stations that you're going to be doing, that you do 160 on and then this other one, back to you. AP6MB, ZK3KK, back to you.
