Ironmungy Nature Reserve VKFF-2624

 After activating Bobundara Nature Reserve continued South on Mafra Rd, then left onto the Snowy River Way, then right onto Ironmungy Rd. After a few Km got into the park.


Last time I activated on the right side of the road, at the start of Ironmungy Trail. This time operated on the left in the bush as still in the park and no gate to climb over... Used a stump to support the squid pole


Shack set up on the table


Got on 40m. Seemed very quiet. After spotting myself on ParksnPeaks got callers, with lots of QSB

VK3FIMD, VK2IO, VK2VW, VK2HFI, VK3PF, VK3ARH, VK3HRA, VK5AYL, ZL1TM.

Changed the links in the dipole to 20m. Worked

VK5VST, ZL1TM. 

ZL1TM was a lot stronger and easier to copy compared to 40m.

With 11 contacts ok for a VKFF activation, but had activated this park before with 38 QSOs, so qualified it for WWFF as well. Packed up and headed to Jindabyne for the evening.
