2018 Spring VHF UHF Field Day
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

Re: 2018 Spring VHF UHF Field Day
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.

Re: 2018 Spring VHF UHF Field Day
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.

Re: 2018 Spring VHF UHF Field Day
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.

I plan to be operating portable north of Bairnsdale on most bands between 6m and 10 GHz.
Re: 2018 Spring VHF UHF Field Day
I'll be portable in QF57RU - 70km North of Maitland

6m to 23cm.
I'll also be doing the 23cm on 23rd from there.

Re: 2018 Spring VHF UHF Field Day
I'll be active from my home station - QF44NO, active on 6m, 2m, 70cm, 23cm and 13cm.
Re: 2018 Spring VHF UHF Field Day
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

Re: 2018 Spring VHF UHF Field Day
Heavy rain is forecast down here... might only be active from home on 6 metres and 2 metres.
Re: 2018 Spring VHF UHF Field Day
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.

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