Hi Roger
01:00 UTC is 09:00 WST which works fine for me as a home Operator. The question is - are there any Field Operators in VK6 out there and is an earlier start time an issue?
There has been no {evident} activity on VHF/UHF field days outside the Metro Perth area from what I can see for several years now. So its not really been an issue about people driving out into the country and needing time to set up. Rarely does anyone seem to come back on air for the sunday morning. There are two Operators who set up in Kings Park every Field Day for te Saturday afternoon and maybe an earlier start would provide greater flexibility.
I don't speak for other VK6 operators - this is just my view point. But I think its worth putting out there.
