Good morning,
VK3ER/p operated successfully from our usual spot on McLaughlin Lookout (825 metres A.S.L.).
Weather was excellent(!) - so typical of Victoria at this time of the year.
We were entertained by 2 legs of the Australian Rally Car championship immediately adjacent to our site on the Saturday a.m. and p.m.
Operations from 80mx through to 24 Ghz.
The only disappointment was the lack of portable stations from the east of VK3 and into VK1 - the propagation was certainly there, with the VK3RGI beacon on 2.4 Ghz loud and clear all weekend.
There is some drone footage of our site plus some of the rally cars as they screamed past.
