Alas on the 22nd of May was up north in Queensland without any radio gear except 2M FM and was doing other things than radio.
Such openings are rather infrequent to say the least and in my part of the world 2M DX ops are few and far between.
The nearest op I have had a contact with is at Blackheath in the Blue Mountains and is only on air now and then. Apart from him have worked another in Sydney and occassionally ops in Canberra and Nimitabel.
Apart from putting up a taller pole for my yagi pretty well as far as I will go for the activity.
Getting back to the contest which is the subject matter see little incentive to set up a field station in the middle of winter when there are so few stations on air.
