After a fairly terrible time with the 6516 khz frequency for the Syndey to Hobart race, I'm going to see how the we go covering the "28th Pittwater & Coffs Harbour Offshore Series 2009".
I'll be using the Icom R75 located in Canberra, and the Sony ICF-SW7600GR portable radio attached to an inverted V / random length antenna.
The race using Satphone, VHF and HF to provide Position and Safety reports. So ignoring the Sat and VHF side of things here are the following Sked times for HF obtains from the following Racing Instructions:
To make it easier / comfortable to listen to some of these recordings that may have been recording during poor HF conditions, play them with in a mp3 player that has a Graphic Equaliser functionality such as Windows Media Player and set all bar the voice frequencies to off, here is my setting for Windows Media Player:
