FreeDV Australian net - 20 stations several new

A very successful FreeDV net this morning with 20 stations at least seen. Several new stations again this week which is great. Some of us were having audio problems, low level or clipping, difficulty controlling mic levels.

One user reported that the application crashed. After much deliberation, I've decided to move the net to 7045 rather than the frequency of 7177 built in to the app. 7177 is a slow scan TV frequency which I think was selected as there's not much activity. We've found in Australia that there's often SSB activity near this frequency. 7045 is in one of the ranges designated for digital modes. I've asked Mooneer to add 7045 to the app (you can add it yourself but I think it might be nice to have it built in). There is some ongoing discussion about this.

Stations seen this morning were: VK3TPM, VK3JF, VK3BRT, VK3SRC, VK3CKY, VK5KVA, VK5LN, VK7DBX, VK3KEZ, VK3GTP, VK3LRJ, VK5KFG, VK3SPX, VK3TFD, VK5HW, VK3KR, VK3JCO, VK3PCC, VK4WGR and VK2KNC.

I will be at the Rosebud Radiofest next Sunday, as might be a few others, so someone might need to step in as net controller.
