QRG


Where is VK2/W7BRS?

Here is a list of the frequencies I will use.   I will use DXSummit to self-spot when appropriate.

FT-8 Frequencies

Always 091 up from the band edge except as noted (*)

Always Normal F/H with WSJT-X (Not SuperFox)

  • 80m - 3591
  • 40m - 7077 **
  • 20m - 14091
  • 15m - 21091
  • 10m - 28091
  • 30m - 10105 *
  • 17m - 18105 *
  • 12m - 24922 *
** Australian Band Plan affects this.

CW Frequencies

Work split.  I will Tx on 038 up from the band edge and listen 1+.   Except where noted (*)

  • 80m - 3538
  • 40m - 7038
  • 20m - 14038
  • 15m - 21038
  • 10m - 28038

  • 30m - 10120 *
  • 17m - 18070 - 18072 *
  • 12m - 24895 *

SSB Frequencies

This is more difficult to predict, but these ranges are expected.  I will always work split (I will be listening UP 5 Kc, always)

  • 80m - 3838 - 3844 (*)
  • 40m - 7170 ~ 7180
  • 30m - 10125 (**)
  • 20m - 14208 ~ 14220
  • 17m - 18140 ~ 18146
  • 15m - 21222 ~ 21238
  • 12m - 24945 - 24950
  • 10m - 28550 ~ 28560
* Depends on antenna performance.
** Australian Band Plan affects this.

If I forget to self-spot, these are the frequency (or ranges) to find me.  IF you do work my station, it would be appreciated to spot if there is something notable (excessively strong or very weak, etc.  That will tell me information about conditions for adjustments).

I'd also recommend RBN to track skimmers who detect my CW signal.

I have to adhere to the Australian Band Plan, of course.  Please find it here.

Effort has been made to ensure that YOUR international (NA/SA/JA/EU/OC/AS) Tx frequencies are in-band as required. If there is an error on my part, please contact me (via QRZ Email), thank you.



Small Film

I made a short film. It will document highlights and provide an essence of the experience on Lord Howe Island. Please enjoy.
