2018 Spring VHF UHF Field Day

[VK4CZ]

Just over a week until the Spring VHF UHF Field Day.

Details are avail at:
http://www.wia.org.au/members/contests/vhfuhf/

So we know who's going to be active and where [:idea:], can you post your intentions below

This FD also coincides with the WWFF/VKFF Parks activation weekend, so operating within a National or Conservation Park may have added benefits if you also chase Parks

Hi Scott and other readers.
Weather permitting, my plan for next weekend is to be at Kamarun Lookout (QG61NU) on the Saturday evening from about 6:30 p.m. onwards (local time) followed by being at Mt Gravatt in Brisbane (QG62MK) on the Sunday morning starting around 6 a.m.
I should have all bands available at each location from 50 MHz to 76 GHz inclusive.
Here's hoping for another good event for all who are on the air that weekend!
Cheers and 73,
--Doug Friend, VK4OE.

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]

I am afraid I will be away for the FD. My intention was to provide a big signal on 1296 but I will not be back until late Sunday. At least I will be available for the last pass of the ARRL EME contest on Sunday night.

I should be out on Saturday weather and work commitments permitting.

1296, 2403, 3398 low power. Look towards Portarlington and don't forget to make your intentions known on Contest Radar.

[VK3KGR]

I plan to be operating portable north of Bairnsdale on most bands between 6m and 10 GHz.

[VK2KCM]

I'll be portable in QF57RU - 70km North of Maitland

6m to 23cm.

I'll also be doing the 23cm on 23rd from there.

[VK1JA]

I'll be active from my home station - QF44NO, active on 6m, 2m, 70cm, 23cm and 13cm.

[VK4UH]

Work commitments on Saturday morning will severely limit my ability to travel out for the FD this coming weekend,

I intend to operate portable however with the BVHFG callsign VK4IF/p from House Mountain in QG62k

Intention at this stage is to run in the 4-band (6m-23cms) 6-hour multi-op section

Wx and time permitting I may run some microwave from my home QTH on the Sunday morning under my won call

Heavy rain is forecast down here... might only be active from home on 6 metres and 2 metres.

[VK2AAK]

Most of my gear is packed away while I'm rebuilding the shack but I'll try to do something.
I'll probably be intermittently active from home (NSW mid north coast QF67fw) on 2m, 70cm and 13cm and hopefully also 23cm if I can conjure up an antenna of some description for that band.

[VK3MEG]

i'll only be on 6m to give out a few numbers if the band is open from home and possibly mobile.
summer i'll make a bigger effort.

[VK4EA]

Only a 6m home station (QG62mo) periodically on the Sat afternoon in between chores. Sunday is out for me due to assessment commitments, dammit.

[VK2XAX]

I'll be on from my QTH in QF56if, Penrith

There will be a few others on too , noteably Hilary, VK2AZ also in QF56if

If the rest of the group out here comes on there will be about 5 stations in and around QF56

All QRV from 6m to 23cm

Hilary may also be found on 13cm as might John , VK2YOC

regards

Tim
