Get off Social Media_Radio-Active Weekend

[VK4TS]

The 19th and 20th March has a great event on the Australian Ham Radio Calender - The John Moyle Memorial Field Day.

It is time to find the power Button on the radio and turn it to the ON position; skilled and more fortunate operators may have more than one radio and can then exhibit dexterity by turning more than one on !

These Radios (instruction manuals are usually in the top drawer) Have amazing features - You can hear people talking on them. Again referring to the instruction manual you can actually talk back to them.

This amazing piece of technology pre-dates Social Media - I know that is hard to believe but I can assure you that is the case.

The Start time of the John Moyle Memorial Field Day is 01:00 UTC - which aligns with the time Zone for Budapest for reasons that may be obvious to some.

You can enter for all of the 24 hours or a shortened 6 hour stint or heaven forbid - not even bother to send in a log and just enjoy yourself making contacts.

After you have given this a try you may like to participate in the next Radio Active weekend -

Lets make it a plan Stan - get on air for the one weekend - off social media and give the bands - any bands, a real rattle in the John Moyle Field Day,

MWRS is planning 2 camping trips - one near Mittagong and one in Barrington Tops near Polblue. So we plan to rattle the sky from multiple locations

Also we are planning on taking our 3.4GHz panel to Barrington so if anyone wants to try a contact send me a PM and we'll make a sked.
