Re: NSWPF radio now fully encrypted.

So what are they doing with Xray now?

Seems like a huge waste of manpower ...

Re: ESO10 locking up on GPT

Yeah not used as much as it use to be, Eso10 isn't linked to a vkg channel like it use to be. Was linked to channel Q from vkg tamworth a few years back.
