Greetings to all readers!
I hope that the summer DX season is working out well for many VHF-UHF operators!
For the forthcoming Summer VHF-UHF Field Day Contest, weather permitting, I propose to be operating on the Saturday evening from Kamarun Lookout (near O'Riellys Resort) QG61NU, and on the Sunday morning from Mt Gravatt in Brisbane, QG62MK. Commencement times should be around 7:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m respectively.
[As many operators may know, I have most frequently in recent years been using a site in the Border Ranges National Park. However, as of now and for the next few weeks, that site is unavailable due to NSW Parks and Wildlife having work done on the roads in the park. Thus my decision to use Kamarun Lookout]
I should have equipment available for all bands from 50 MHz up to and including 76 GHz, with initial talk-back/liaison happening on 146.5 MHz FM simplex or 439.0 MHz FM simplex. My mobile 'phone is 0428 191 066 but, understandably, that's only infrequently resorted to.
Here's looking forward to good weather and many folk having many contacts on many bands!
Cheers and 73,
