Corramy Regional Park VKFF-1781

After staying overnight at Ulladulla headed North on the Princes Hwy, turning off onto The Wool Rd heading for my first park activation, Corramy Regional Park VKFF-1781. An old sign for the park which was a State Conservation Area originally. The park was burnt in last summers fires.

Turned off to Wandandian Creek picnic area

There was a bit of a cold wind, at the picnic area and a few cars, so not to disturb any one headed back to a locked fire trail gate where I could pull up and set up in the park.

Found a suitable stump for the squid pole, set up the linked dipole

Looking the other way

Tested the linked dipole on 40 m, good SWR, resonant at 7.052 Mhz

Radio on the table

Slow going on 40 m. Conditions seemed poor with not many calling, and those calling mostly low signals and QSB. Worked

VK3PI, VK2VW, VK2IO (on 80 m, barely heard on 40m), VK4FDJL, VK2BX, VK4CZ, VK3PT, VK7QP, VK4AAT, VK2IJS.

VK3PF Peter called me from a SOTA summit, VK3/VG-027 Mt Baldhead. Weak but readable.

Packed up and had lunch at St Georges Basin.
