No ID as it's just a test transmission. It's the FRSH transmitter.

No, thanks. There will be more tests over the next couple of days as some adjustments need to be made to the transmitter. No reports necessary but all reports here will be read.

Both misaligned. Don't trust the Kiwi SDRs.
Pity, as most of them can use the frequency standard from the GPS.
