Yesterday I tuned around 40m and experienced S0 noise. There were some stations in Victoria and Tasmania coming through well. Tonight I will try to join the Home Brew Group's net. Here is my squid pole hanging off a stake. (I'm told there are much better stakes, normally used for electric fence supports, available for about $4 - will investigate).
The local paper, the Don Dorrigo Gazette, here is printed with the old letterpress system and looks amazing.
Internet here is pretty slow so I won't be posting much.
These posts, seen below with the orange loop at the top, are widely used to hold up electric fences. They have a convenient foot hook for pushing them in to the ground.
It's lovely here, audio and electrically quiet. The only sound on radio is the clicking of electric fences - how ironic.
