Iain It's like herding cats... but last known plans [for last MAD that was cancelled due to WX] were: VK4OE/P: Kamarun Lookout QG61NU [Lamington NP] - 1.2 to 76GHz VK4LHD/P: Howells Knob QG63JF [Sunshine Coast - Maleny] - 1.2 to 10GHz VK4EA/P: Howells Knob QG63JF [Sunshine Coast - Maleny] - 10 to 24...

We'll leave the Brisbane area late Sunday afternoon (24th) to return home (so we can play in the M.A.D. )

Tnx - appreciated

Great job Darrell... you'll be sought after by the SYD guys now

Brisbane VHF Group have announced that the next planned MAD [Microwave Activity Day] will be on Sunday March 24, 2019. 1,296MHz and up. Pick your Mountain top, and start your planning! Remember to keep us all informed of your planned activity, so we can all maximise the opportunity to have fun. :thu...

At this stage Doug, I believe we've all been scared off. As there was no official notification given, but consensus has resulted in redirecting my time/effort to other activities today. Also believe that to be true of the others, but they need to confirm!

Howling up here on the ridge tonight... But well under gale force. Sunday still looks wet and windy. No formal confirmation of a cancellation yet... But I'm assuming its highly unlikely and a delay to March 24 could be a good option! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190222/b642e73f3fc37854931a6fb3...

This weekend's MAD could be MAD!

With TC Oma now approaching the VK4 coast, the WX forecast has changed and by the weekend we're now looking at 60-70% chances of rain... But at this stage falls of less than 10mm!

Not quite true John.... 23-on-23 will still occur on Sat 23rd [see other Forum thread] - Sydney and possibly other locations will still be running. :om: The SE VK4 MAD has been moved to the Sunday 24th [not visa versa] to enable operation by some stations who are unable to participate if held on a S...

Saturday the 23rd is coming! 1296MHz-23cm-Super-Yagi-EME-antenna-6meters-PA1296-70-6UT.jpg So dust off the 23cm gear and get on air. Due to the planned MAD in South East VK4, I suggest that this activation event remain consistent with weekday activation sessions. Operations could be conducted as fol...

We're bucking the trend, and next Sunday we're planning to go MAD. In South East VK4, a number of uWave operators are planning to activate bands from 1.2GHz and up from various /P locations around the region. Final details are being organissed, but should enable stations to travel and be on site for...

Iain Is there a template for the response to ensure that we provide complete details that also meet the expectations of the survey? :!: Whilst limited to the cm bands, I'm always keen to utilise the gear and drive the $/QSO rates down, and will email my response over weekend when I get near the shac...

Summary of activity.... probably expected due to closeness to X-Mas and higher priorities than being on radio being attended to.

Welcome to the December 23-on-23. Santa at Radio.jpg Since it's just a couple of days before the fat, red suited nordic fella arrives [sorry if this description offends or resembles someone you know], this months 23-on-23 might have to be a night time event even though it falls on a weekend! So Sun...

Great news Doug Also WX depending, CJ VK4YR, Rob VK4SYD and I will also activate Kamarun Lookout Saturday afternoon from approx 12noon to 4pm. We'll be participating in both the VHF UHF FD and the WWFF/VKFF Activation weekend. We'll leave it in good condx for you [emoji6] Sent from my CPH1721 using ...
