Nice VK5 to VK6 opening 31/12/2008. Typical strong summer E's in VK.
Rig was icom 706Mk11G , 100 watts and the antenna was the trusty Hentenna.

  • 2:26 is an illustration of what happens when QSO's continue on the calling freq HI. Maybe QSY next time. I'm sure the station calling CQ can hear you - he's just pressing the point ;-) 73's.

  • QSO is not on calling freq. Calling freq is 50.110Mhz...

  • Good to see more VK hams on Youtube. And don't worry, I'm doing my best to put my share of Amateur Radio videos up on Youtube as well -- all done with my tiny Flip MINO pocket videocam. (I don't even touch my bigger video cameras any more!) 73 de David, VK2DMH, Sydney AU.

  • Hi Andy - yes 50.110 is the international DX calling freq, but 50.200 is definitely the Australian 6m calling frequency. At least according to my WIA bandplan :-)

  • getting a 706mkII (no g) soon! thanks for posting. Nice and clear. Hope I get that far on 6 meters from Oregon. ha!

  • G'day VK5VXO, I have a 706MKIIG and I love it for all bands. It's my main rig HF-6m. My only wish is that the noise blanker worked better as I live with severe power line leaks.

  • i am considering the ic706mk2G, is it a good rig for HF? does it work well on 2m and 70cm aswell?
