After activating Corramy Regional Park in the morning headed beck towards Ulladulla, turning off to Lake Conjola and my next park, Narrawallee Creek Nature Reserve VKFF-1979. Lake Conjola and the park were burnt in the the January 2020 fires.
Sign for the park. It was lucky not to have burnt...
Continued to the beach car park and parked. Last time I operated here from a wooden platform above the beach. This was replaced after the fire. View to the North from the lookout
View to the South
Returned to the car park. Had noticed a track there heading South into the park, so followed it
After a short distance found a straight section of the track where I could string out my dipole, so set up on the track.
Looking back the other way
Radio on the table
Got on 40 m. Seemed crowded as some DX coming in. Got on 7.155, although later a strong VK7 came up on 7.150 making some QRM. Worked
VK2VW, VK5PAS, VK4KC, VK7QP, VK4CZ, VK4SMA.
Tried 80 m. Found VK3PF Peter on SOTA summit VK3/VG-157 on 3.610, so worked him.
Returned to 40 m, where a spot from Gerard VK2IO told me he did not hear me on 80 m. So returned to 80 m and worked him with a good signal. No more callers on 80 m though.
Back on 40 m worked
VK7AN, ZL1TM, VK5FMAZ
As getting late in the day packed up with 11 contacts and headed back to Ulladulla for the evening.
