Welcome to the August 23-on-23.
Apologies for the dealy - been QRL and AR is far from front of mind!
Friday [Fri-yay] August 23rd is the next scheduled 23-on-23 - providing opportunity to activate your 1,296MHz and other uWave home or portable station capabilities.
Operations will be conducted as follows:
Phone/CW
Start time: 10:00z / 8:00pm AEST / 9:00pm ADST
QRG: 1,296.100MHz
Digital and 2,403MHz Up!
Start time: 11:00z / 9:00pm AEST
23cm QRG: 1,296.225MHz (Mode JT65)
13cm QRG: 2,403.100MHz USB
These events are designed to develop the level of activity on 23cm and above amateur bands.
Please do not hesitate to share with others who you know have capability and see if we can continue to grow the numbers of participating stations.
Activity is not limited to stations within SE VK4, and the growing contingent from VK2. Everyone is very welcome to participate. Please share and promote on other FB pages.
As is often proven, if the participating stations are unaware of your operation, there is a high likelihood that you won’t be worked. [Quite simple and very logical really!]
Please take a moment to share advice of your participation here, and on the night log into VKSpotter [https://vkspotter.com/] ‘2m and above’ page and chat, so that attention to 'exploiting' the path can be achieved.
Good luck to everyone.

A good turnout from SE QLD tonight. Worked on 23 cm VK4LHD/p, VK4DH, VK4WS, VK4ALH, VK4QG, VK4MIL, VK4NE & VK4CZ all with good signals & most very strong. The record was Oct 2017 when there were 15 23 cm stations & 5 on 13 cm so there are several more out there. Tnx Robert & the second operator for going portable.
Will look forward to Sept 23rd.
