QFA64 over Portland, Victoria
« on: October 04, 2009, 02:59:01 AM »
I just noticed QFA64 from Johaneseburg FAJS to Sydney YSSY crossing the coast around Portland, Vic.

There must be a RB user with great coverage living around the Warrnambool, SW area of Victoria ??

Cheers,
Paul.

The white dotted circles indicate the maximum distances possible from Melbourne CBD (if you had clear line of sight)



fwiw he's just approaching Sydney now :)

I get nothing like that on my polar diagram.

Must get an external antenna!

Oh, yes, there he is. Almost there!

Me either - my antenna is apparently somewhere in transit, but I'm having difficulties getting a straight answer from AirNav about exactly where it is....

This is what I currently get

Thats about two to three times larger than what I'm currently getting.

I noticed my antenna was/is slightly bent as it came out of the box.

Reckon that would have any effect on my signal? It's not that noticeable but leans to one side very slightly
