Sydney Hobart Yacht Race 2011 - Done for another year

Well All,

I've shut the Queensland HF Comms Coverage of Sydney Hobart Yacht Race 2011 down for 2011. A quick review of my stream / coverage was that I more or less could only cover the 4483 khz nightly sked due to 6516 have the unbearable interference from 6518 khz.

However that said this year we had a total of 3 streams (4 including the parttime Offical stream) covering the HF Comms.

Brisbane, Qld Audio Stream (mine..)

Melbourne, Vic Audio Stream

NSW Audio Stream

Peter Bye of vk2mpj on the NSW South Coast is once again providing Audio Stream for Sail-World http://www.sail-world.com/index.cfm?nid=92269

The NSW stream stayed on 6516 khz were as the VIC stream covered both 6516 and the 4483 khz channels. Together the VIC and NSW streams were brillant and really made it possible to hear the HF Comms at all the Skeds and during the race.

A big thanks to them for their time and use of their own hardward and equipment to provide te audio streams.

The VIC stream is actually going to coninue on and attempt to provide coverage of the Pittwater to Coffs Harbour Race 2011 (http://blog.grantstowell.com/pittwater-to-coffs-harbour-ocean-race-2012) Stream Detail - http://blog.grantstowell.com/pittwater-to-coffs-harbour-ocean-race

Hope you all enjoy it :) and we'll defintely see your all next year and who knows maybe whenever there is another event during the year (ie Brisbane to Gladstone) I'll give it a go......

Have a very Happy New Year and a great 2012 !!!!!!!!!!!!
