Weather at Harvest Time.

Make hay while the sun shines, they say. you can also catch fish while the ground's boggy Bob!
Gee that's big numbers of harvest, hope you get it all in ok.

Duh · Guru

That's a big load Bob! Dunmowins down Esperance way somewhere getting involved with the Harvest, not sure what exactly though, I know they had to wait for a bit.

A couple of months back we were up Morawa way and the grain trucks at a Depot there were using Channel 18 (I suppose because hardly anyone uses it) and I have also heard it being used by farmers in paddocks etc to communicate with each other.

What do you use on the job?

Our farmer uses 31, the muggy bin uses 30, Brazier Street CBH uses channel 36, Chadwick Bin for CBH use channel 38, Esperance Port uses 40. CB out here is great. They are used for what they meant to be used for. Very little language or abuse. A real pleasure. Someof the trucks here are twin steer, bogie drive, twin steer, tri-drive and all have tri-axle dollies and trailers. Good fun and good hours.
Reason for doing it? Sold the house and all the associated bills. Had to work for 11 months of the year to cover costs, now work for 4 - 5 months to cover costs and we now travel the rest of the time. WA this year, maybe again next year. We then may do the Victorian harvest or maybe the South Australian. Whatever.
Saw a MH today with the words "Mad Once, Nomad Now". Loved it.

Thanks for the feedback Bob, it always interests me what channels are used, I know the usual designations but all not always used according to that. That MH owner might be related to Billeeeee! He he!

Thanks for your feedback too Milo.
