WWFF VK1 Parks Worked
Having worked a lot of VK1 WWFF parks lately, thought I would check which of the 50 ACT parks I have worked. I created an award in Log4OM, here is a screenshot of part of the result
VKFF-1774 Kinleyside Nature Reserve is a privately owned nature reserve with no public access, so unable to work it.
VKFF-0983 Bimberi Wilderness Area is a remote park in the far Southwest of the ACT. My only contact was with VK1ACE, Rod on 2m on SOTA summit Mt Gingera, part of which lies in the park.
So have worked all 49 of the VK1 accessible parks.
