Hey all
I couldnt log on too vn6kc rockingham yesterday.
I could here other people but could not get any response back when trying to log on. Unscrewed aerial sprayed it with electrical contact cleaner but still no go, how do i determine if it is the radio or aerial at fault cheers.

Regularly hold both short and long range radio courses at a very reasonable cost. Only takes a morning to get qualified and if your VHF radio has built in GPS and DSC you can apply for an mmsi number when qualified ...worth the effort
