I collected a lot of data on this target from inner suburban Brisbane a couple of months ago but it needed a couple of hours of good data from Leyburn to bring it to life. There's about 2.5 hours from Leyburn and 5.5 hours from home. If I'd had another hour or two of the good stuff I could probably have tossed all the Brisbane data away without losing anything...
