The HF contact did not materialise. At 8AM Lee W5LHC the president of the Austin Amateur Radio Club did contact us via the IRLP and an exchange of pleasantries took place. Apparently Sydney hit the news big timeover there with our New Year fire work display. Lee advised that 2 echolink nodes are in operation in Austin the first one being N5SMN-R and the second one being W5JWB-R. He invites us to make contact with his members via these nodes.
