Hello Doug and other readers.
Thanks for publicising the event coming up this coming week-end.
I will only be operating on the Sunday morning for several hours. Weather permitting, I propose to be operating from Kamarun Lookout near the Lamington National Park (QG61NU) using all bands from 50 MHz to 76 GHz inclusive.
I am planning to commence operating from there around 6:00 a.m., through until the end of the contest period. That means quite an early start from home that morning!
I try as much as possible to keep 146.500 MHz and 439.000 MHz FM simplex open for getting in touch and for liaison for the higher bands. Of course, from time to time I will be operating on the usual SSB calling frequencies - .150 in the 'busy bands'.
Here's hoping that the weather for going portable is looking good, and that many of us have many contacts over the week-end!
Cheers and 73,
