Yarrobil National Park VKFF-0617

After activating Munghorn Gap National Park, continued my drive to Dubbo, taking some back roads and going through the historic town of Gulgong. Took the Castlereagh Hwy for a while then turned off onto Laheys Creek Rd then Spring Ridge Rd. Along Spring Ridge Rd came to a sign for Yarrobil National Park.

Set up the station in a clearing at the back of the sign. Operating spot, map from Protected Planet

Shack on the table. Enough room for the 80 m dipole leg extensions.

Got on 40 m. Started with a park to park with VK3PF/p Peter and VK3NRB/p Ray in VKFF-2348 Kings Flat Flora Reserve. They were both quite weak to me, around 41, and park hunters were also having problems. Seems they were only getting a few watts out. They later fixed the issue.

Mobile access okay here, spotted myself and got park hunters calling
