Whenever I drive down to my brothers place at Pambula Beach for Christmas, I stop on the way at Kuma Nature Reserve VKFF-1954 to activate it. It is just off the Snowy Mountains highway between Cooma and Nimmitabel and easy access.
As usual parked and climbed over the stile to enter the park.
The park is devoid of trees, usually use the park sign to support the squid pole.
Looking back the other way
Checked the dipole for resonance on 40m, a little high in the band but okay.
Shack on the tarp. Didn't take my table as only here for a short time.
Got on 40 m. It sounded, dead... Not that many signals on. Spotted myself on 7.144 and called.
Worked VK3FMID, VK3SQ, VK4CZ, VK3ZK/m, VK3MCK, VK2LX, VK4MGL, VK3DPG,
Tried 20m, working VK3DAC, VK2MG
A park to park with VK2IO/p Gerard in VKFF-1908 Cockle Bay Nature Reserve.
Also VK4CZ, a lot stronger on 20m.
Returned to 40 m to grab another park to park with VK3PF/p Peter in VKFF-2223 Wangaratta Common Nature Conservation Reserve.
As nearly lunch time packed up and headed to Nimmitabel for lunch. With 14 contacts finally got over 44 contacts in this park, after several years of activating it...
