VK9ML Crew Arrives In Gladstone

For those wondering Al Waller, K3TKJ, the provider of qsl.net informed us 

yesterday that he lost a 80GB HDD and had to rebuild a new image of that drive.  

Hence the recent disruption.

Alan, VK4BKM, Peter, VK4APG, and Harris, VK4CWT, arrived in Gladstone lunchtime

today after a seven hour drive from hometown Brisbane early this morning to meet

up with David, VK4GL and Bill Brosnan (non-amateur sailing member).
