Chiltern-Mount Pilot National Park VKFF-0620
After stopping overnight in Albury continued my drive to Bendigo for the VKFF Get Together weekend. As Chiltern-Mount Pilot National Park was on the way turned off to the Hume Hwy to activate it mid-morning. Followed the signs to the park, drove to Honeyeater Picnic Area.
Some picnic tables here, although the wrong shape for attaching a squid pole to. Ended up strapping the squid pole to a wooden bollard in the car park and using my own table and chair.
Shack on the table. Dipole legs out to some nearby trees.

Heading down to Bendigo for the VKFF get together weekend I activated a few parks along the way. After lunch at Holbrook stopped off to activate Woomargama National Park VKFF-0547. Turned off the Hume Hwy onto Woomargama Way. Reached the small settlement of Woomargama. Turned off onto Tunnel Road. Followed Tunnel Road for about 10 km, reaching the Tunnel Road picnic area in Woomargama National Park.

100 Countries confirmed on 17m in QRZ logbook
Noticed I've now got 100 countries confirmed in the QRZ Logbook award for 17m. Another Gold star!
I guess 20m is the next band to aim at 100. Although with only 83 it will take a while to achieve.
