My current plans are to operate portable from Kamarun Lookout, QG61NU, down along Lamington National Park Road in the Border Ranges area but only on the Saturday afternoon/evening - depending on whether someone else is already planning to go to the same spot. Whether that outing happens will depend on the weather forecast available in the days leading up to the FD weekend.
I have some work to do to make sure all of the portable gear is functioning correctly but the current plan is to operate 50.1xx SSB, 52.100 or 150 SSB, 52.525 FM, 144.1xx SSB, 146.500 FM, 432.1xx SSB, 439.000 FM, 1296.1xx SSB and/or 1296.200 FM, 2403.1xx SSB, 3398.1xx SSB, 5760.1xx SSB and 10368.1xx SSB, where .1xx starts at .150 and goes up in 5KHz increments. The fallback plan will be as many bands as the gear works correctly.
Please note the planned used of 3398.1xx in lieu of the 3400.1xx used in previous outings. The band segment has to be set before the microwave antennas/transverters are raised so if you are planning to operate on the 3.4GHz band and expect to be in a position to work me, please advise prior through a posting against this forum topic.
Similarly, please let me know through the topic if your planning is also for Kamarun Lookout so we can avoid any site conflicts.
