Well done, Paul. I've never used an apostrophe in morse, so that's what confused me along with the ---- for "o". 73's is an abbreviation for thanks, see you later, etc in Amateur morse protocol.

Darryl - I probably have spoken with VK5M; I've been licensed since 1980. He could have a go on echolink if he is computer savvy. Work around the world via internet and VHF/UHF repeaters.

Ian - naughty, naughty...but then again we've probably all transmitted in places we shouldn't have...

Johnno - Yes, "Ham" is not a good term, but unfortunately it's the one used almost universally for Amateur Radio, hence my use of it!

Anyway, thanks for the replies - but it seems no one is interested in an astro net? Oh well, such is life.

Have a good one all...whether that be sending signals into the ether or gazing into it!

Cheers
