The future Abajo Peak RMS (KF0OIC-11) has finished it's testing phase in Hesperus, Colorado. It is now assembled on a neat platform and ready for transport to the Abajo site. The installation will occur on the morning of September 22, 2025. In the meantime, KF0OIC-11 is taking a well earned rest before it moves to it's new home.
Our monoband RMS is on the 40m band. We 'shadow' VK4DJC's RMS by being on the same frequency of 7060.0 kHz dial. There's 400km between us, so select whichever station gives best access to Winlink email from your location.
We have been using a horizontal dipole oriented NW/SE. The radiation pattern suited most radioamateurs in Queensland who live along the east coast of northern Australia. We have just changed to a vertical whip which should make the RMS more accessible to Winlink stations inland and overseas.
