Thanks for the notification of the Field Day dates, Doug. Most appreciated.
I must apologies for the lack of update on the VHF/UHF Field Days website. I have been otherwise engaged in moving my life and my accommodation from Sydney to the Gold Coast, which necessitated considerable downsizing, together with a short-ish stay in temporary premises and living out of a suit case. My PC facilities set up to manage the website has enjoyed a holiday in storage, and thus access to necessary programs and files has not been available. Working on changing that situation now (nothing is as simple as first imagined, though!).
The Winter Field day dates were published on the website home page (www.wia.org.au/members/contests/vhfuhf/) in January.
One step I took in 2016 was to determine an algorothm for 'fixing' the dates of the three VHF/UHF Field Days each year, rather than having 'wandering' dates (for whatever reason) that had to be worked out and agreed-on then publicised.
I wrote down the algorithm and published it on the website in PDF format. You'll find it low on the home page under the title Algorithm to determine future VHF-UHF FD dates. See: https://www.wia.org.au/members/contests/..._Nov19.pdf
The WIA weekly broadcasts have been publicising the dates of the VHF/UHF Field Days for 2021 since March. Well done WIA Broadcast team! www.wia.org.au/members/broadcast/wianews/
