A sampling of 144 MHz signals and contacts from a 2el yagi on Olivers Hill.
Those from VK1BG and VK2EMA were particularly impressive.

Re: This morning's activity from Olivers Hill
Well done Peter, when I first worked you I was running 25 w only but when I worked VK1BG I was running 400w. I was surprised at how well you were hearing the stations on the frequency this morning, many of them I was not hearing much better than you were and I have 12 el at 10 m... best I check a few things out here i think....
Great video by the way. catch you again soon.

I too was amazed at the good receiving results; as indicated on the recording some were struggling with VK2BCC/3.
The antenna setup was extremely compromised. The camera puts out RF noise. The feedline to the antenna was insufficiently long to hold it above my head. And 2 or 3 more elements may be accommodated without too much extra weight.
Fixing all that should give an easy 6dB benefit, which would have made VK2EMA easily workable.
