I was 'cornered' by a few enthusiastic VHF/UHF/Microwavers at the Gold Coast Hamfest this morning as to my intentions as to the Spring FD coming up in just two weeks time. I told them that I was considering whether to participate at all given the low levels of activity in SE Q'ld in recent FD events but that I had yet to make up my mind either way.
I am posting this here in the hope that I can fairly quickly gain some idea of possible activity in at least northern NSW and SE Q'ld, and maybe the rest of VK (& ZL too?) - as to whether it is worthwhile going through the preparation and setup phases.
If you are planning to be active please post to this topic at least a minimal response as to bands, location and operating time window, [I know that Contest RADAR might contain this info immediately prior to the event but it really doesn't serve as an early indicator.]
If you know of others not currently active on the forum who might be participating, get them to join up and then post their details too - or, in the worst case, post it for them.
What say people????
