With Winter hitting us here in VK5 and cold, wet and windy conditions it has made for some very short expeditions out to activate VI5MCP. We were using a vertical on 20m and an inverted V on 40M with the KX3 running 10W. So, as of right now, this gives us 55 contacts and 6 countries in the logs. not too bad considering that it is the middle of winter! The next activity will be on Saturday where we will be running a 100W 20m station with a 2 ele beam looking for EU. Clublog of the last 50 contacts.

As is now the custom that on NYD a large number of Australian SOTA operators decide to wake up very early and head up hills for a mass activation. Whilst many Australians are still in bed nursing a hangover SOTA operators have packed up their kit and enjoying the first day working HF with others atop mountains.

I found a spot near the edge of the park where I could set up at the back of the car. It was also up high, where most of the car parks and picnic grounds tend to be down in the gullies. I started off looking for other activators, and the called for a bit around 7. About 20 contacts were made on 40m. Later I tried 20m, with no joy. 2 Otway Summits and Mt Leura.
