SOTA activation of "The Vere"
SOTA activation of "The Vere"
Hi team,
My Army unit is doing a shake-out of it's Field Workshop in early March and as the ASM, I have a choice where I can deploy the workshop... Now if you happen to have a SOTA summit in the middle of a restricted military training area, where would be a really, really cool place to go? "The Vere"...
I intend to operate portable from the summit on as many bands as I can with liaison on VK2RNC (146.975). Watch this space for more updates.
Cheers, Mark - VK2IL

Glad to have another VK in town, I shall be sure to drag you up to the Vere when we do our recce. You have a big job there as the Sallyman has been withdrawn by the Salvos to work in town. I'm pretty sure you can find my QTH (just drive up Blaxland) and I'll introduce you to the Hunter Radio Group.
Cheers, Mark.

Don't worry Pete - Jeff is still around...for the moment...or you could get that bloke who does the camp oven cooking!
Mark, I will look you up or if you just drop by the Chaplaincy centre and ask for the new vicar. I'm the old haggard fella (looks like he sits on 40m talking about his veggie patch and his latest doctor's appointment) with the aiming marks on his collar...can't miss me.

What's the SOTA reference for "The Vere"?Now if you happen to have a SOTA summit in the middle of a restricted military training area, where would be a really, really cool place to go? "The Vere"...

Hi Andrew et al,
It is VK2/HU-089.
It looks as if the SOTA summit is a little west and south of (and significantly higher than) the marker on the Google Earth image in this thread.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for that info. Need to check whether a name update is required for 089.

So, Mark. When are you going to appear in the SMA? The Padre is keen to drop in on you for a pastoral visit!
