John
Like you I am a new HF user. I joined both VKS737 and RADTEL. VKS737 does not offer the telephone ability, which I required, hence RADTELL as
well. This also gives me twice the ability to communicate ( redundancy ).
VKS737 for the many users - network and assistance
RADTELL for the direct dial and assistance.
Have no problems with either. RADTELL has been very helpfull with a couple of minor problems ( caused by me).
Regards
Paul

Hi
John, We have only had our HF for about 3 months, but it is terrific. As
well as VKS we are also with VH2RGC. The same as idea as VKS but you can have a more general chat with fellow
HF radio users. Don't get me wrong we also talk on VKS as
well. We are with Bushcom with the phone side of it and we have used the phone a fair bit to get in touch with
home and they are great as
well. VH2RGC is based in Wagga Wagga, and Allen will be more than happy to help you with any information. If you are interested in joining VH2RGC, give us a hoy and we can pass you on his contact details. Always looking for new members to join the VH2RGC network.
Karen
