For those of you in proximity to SE Qld, an email from Kevin VK4UH received today :

Hello everyone
So we have our MICROWAVE ACTIVITY DAY (MAD) next Sunday 23rd Feb 2020 since 23/23 falls over a weekend.
To spread ourselves around the local geography in a sensible way requires some info on the plans of everyone else - as usual!
Perhaps we could start by seeing who is planning to participate and what sites they are considering. Also what bands they might take out?
Trevor 4AFL has indicated he will be active from home
Col and I have discussed running separately or even going combined up to Mt Woolvi to the North if there were sufficient stations on to make that drive worthwhile.
Is anyone considering going to:-
BORDER RANGES
KAMAROON LOOKOUT
GUS BEUTEL
HOWELLS KNOB
TOOWOOMBA
MT GRAVATT
The last thing we would want is for two stations to appear at the same site
Could everyone do a “Reply All” to this group to indicate if they might be participating portable or even from home, where they might go and what bands they have available
If you can think of anyone else who should also receive this message, that I have missed from my ad-hoc distribution list, then please forward it on as an invitation to participate. Or send me their contact info. Does anyone have an address for Bruce and Mick?
Scott I don’t have any contact info for Andru 4KAY or anyone else to the south - can you help with that?
Don’t forget the BVHFG meeting that’s coming up Wednesday 26th Feb at Chermside Library. A Photo presentation on the VK4IF/p FD contest activities from Mt Mowbullan is planned and a display of the 10GHz EME system amongst normal activities
Looking forward to hearing from everyone
MAD - also a contact sport!

Several replies have been emailed to the original "group" and it looks like there will be a few portable 'takers' operating on different microwave bands, 23cm and upwards.
Probably most portable outings subject to weather.
