Article Overview - HF Radio
HF Radios are a wise consideration if you intend to travel throughout remote regions of Australia. View Full Article...
Based on the information received from Exploroz I purchased a Codan 9323 & auto tune antenna. The radio is fantastic and I have been able to talk to people all over Australia. VKS737 is well worth the membership and it's run by a great bunch of volunteers.

Hi Blue One
Like all of the above.

I have been a member for over 14 years. There have been many changes in that time. We should all take our hats off to the very professional operators, all who volunteer their time for the benefit of outback travellers.

Cheers Stephen

Congrates on the purchase, I have recently got one from Footloose for the cost of postage. Just need to install it now LOL

Don't forget to update your trader add as well it may save a few phone calls or extra emails

A National Gathering is not measured by the number of miles travelled to get there but by the number of new friendships made and old ones rekindled.
