Welcome to the May 23-on-23. Saturday May 23, 2020 is the next scheduled 23-on-23! [NOTE: SE VK4 MAD is Sunday May 24th - starting 12 noon] 2244136934_d404cae3d1_o.jpg It will provide an opportunity to practice social distancing, whilst still communicating :thumbup: , and another opportunity to acti...

Please UPDATE your VKSpotter /P profile before Sunday....

The last couple of 23-on-23 and MAD a few stations details were incorrect resulting in wrong details being reported

I'll [cl]aim for Kamarun Lookout ! :om: @130km from home I'm within the 150km travel limits. Have also been in touch with a couple of the GCARS and will hopefully be able to demonstrate uWave to them! At this stage 1.2, 2.4, 3.4 & 10GHz It's also Lamington National Park VKFF-0280 under the WWFF/...

I'll start planning, and calculating distances.

I know a few of the GCARS members were keen to observe, so favorable spot to have them watch [acknowledging social distancing measures] at least Kamarun Lookout or Beechmont would work for that.

Will update ASAP!

Saturday 23rd May is the next scheduled 23-on-23+MAD [since the 23rd falls on a weekend]! Before we set everything in place, and given many will need to get out of a COVID-19 hibernation, can we get a vote on preference for Saturday 23rd or a Sunday 24th [yes I know the 24th isn't the 23rd] for the ...

A great evening - one of the best [still hasn't beat the 15 stations (from memory) in VK4 record] :thumbup: The quick stats: 10 x VK2 stations 12 x VK4 stations Best distance QSO VK4LHD/P to VK4MIL 107.2KM :beer: VK2 summary map : 23-on-23 VK2 Summary 20200423.JPG VK4 summary map : 23-on-23 VK4 Upda...

Despite the poor WX [15c and raining], VK4MIL, VK4UH and I activated Gus Buetel Lookout QG62cp. Between us QSOs were made all bands from 1.2 - 10GHz. And for me, the first QSOs on the 3.4GHz tvtr created from a repurposed GARC [VCOM] panel, Stealth 20W PA and 90cm offset dish. Lessons learnt: :shock...

Current activity map.... a fair distance between stations for a change

The WX for next weekend forecast is pretty RS with > 90% chances of rain.

I will keep a watch, but Elders WX has proven to be pretty accurate... day by day commitment updates will be provided

I aim to activate Gus Buetel Lookout QG62cp10

Bands to activate: 1.2, 2.4, 3.4 & 10GHz
Liaison via 2m, 70cm, HF and mobile phone

The initial planning for this was to ensure that it accommodated the the Sunshine Coast ARC BBQ lunch at Mary Cairncross Park [Maleny] - scheduled to operate from 10am through 2pm - so that as many of the SCARC could experience and have an opportunity fro a uWave QSO. This is an opportunity we shoul...
