That's great to know. I've had a quick look at your QRZ page, which lists your
activities mostly on VHF/D-STAR. Are you active on other bands and modes?
Since I don't have any Icom kit I cannot access D-STAR, altough I have a cheap
TYT DMR handset and a nice little Raspberry Pi hotspot running MMDVM. It would
be a total hoot if we bumped into each other on HF. I once heard VK3YE (Peter
Parker) on one of his 20m "pedestrian" sessions where he walked with his old
FT-817 in a sling-bag, feet in the water and trailing his counter-poise wire
in the waves. Hilarious! My antenna could hear him, but I just could not get
out due to the high noise-floor over here where I live in the UK (too many
cheap, noisy battery chargers from Alibaba in my neighberhood).
