The Society again decided this year to participate to the John Moyle Memorial Field Day.
This year VK2MB/p operated from Tommy Cassidy’s new place in the Watagans, about 90 minutes drive from Sydney. Camping and operating was all HF Bands available to the contest: Single Transmitter, Multiple Operators.
As usual we picked a 6 hour window from the 24hr in which to operate operating from around late afternoon Saturday to late Saturday night as that gives us good conditions on most bands especially 20, 40, 80 and 160m.
Whilst Tommy’s place is under some level of construction so there will only be camping available. However access to a Toilet, Hot Shower and Kitchen facilities are all available for use.
Who was there:
Location was pretty good for Radio. Site is 11 Hectares and is accessible via a steep track so an SUV like a RAV4 will be needed for access.

The event was also an opportunity for a bit of guerrilla marketing for the hobby: check out the review of the nearby Mt Warrawolong Campsite 😉.
