Just too exhausting for some!

Over the 21-22 March 2020 weekend, the MWRS activated a “portable” station at the Polblue Campground in the Barrington Tops National Park. Where present:

  • Andrew VK2EAH
  • Connie VK2CON
  • Greg VK2XE, Declan & Cara
  • Nick VK2FS
  • Phil VK2APL
  • Rod VK2ZZM
  • Ross VK2FRET
  • Tim VK2BT
  • Yves VK2AUJ
  • Zara FZYP

We piled up 229 contacts thanks to Ross and Zara who took turns from the mike to the logging computer! Apart from the radio contest, there were camping stove contest, coffee maker contest, torche contest, but the drone contest was a one horse race won by our club’s GO (gentil organisateur … look it up!).

Where are we???

Thank you for all members who contacted us during the activation!

The weather was amazing, wall to wall blue sky during the days, in the clouds during the evening!

Busy contesting at the radio shack!
Rain check option! Note cloud mist creating in late afternoon.
What else would you like on a cold morning.
What it looks like when you are not looking at the radio.
Not our vertical array.
