Pingback: Sota Activation – VK3/VC-019 Mt Warrenheip | VK3BQ
An excellent concept and one which raises the bar for the European operator while challenging him/herself and equipment used especially while /P, /PM or /M to initially gain the Bronze award..

Hi Ian,
I intend to do more afternoon activations (long path openings) to your part of the world, so there will be plenty of opportunities in the near future for you to accrue some points.
Welcome aboard.

Hello Paul,
It’s David here, VK5DGR, we spoke on air a few times over summer. I’ll be in Wilpena this weekend and will be on 7.090 around 10am SA time Sat & Sunday morning. I don’t think my Optus 3G will work there.
Cheers,
David
Hi David,
I will be listening out for you and hope to get you in the log.
Feel free to join the VK5 Parks Yahoo group and place your intentions there. It will greatly increase the number of callers that you get. You may also consider placing your intentions on the parksnpeaks site.
Best 73 & good luck.
Paul,
