Ingalba Nature Reserve VKFF-1940

While stopping at Junee over the Easter long weekend decided to activate a couple of parks close by. The first was Ingalba Nature Reserve, VKFF-1940. This is located about 8 Km West of Temora off Burley Griffin Way. There appear to be 3 tracks into the reserve, I took the one closest to Temora as seemed to be the most used. Sign for the park

 

After a short drive spotted a suitable stump for attaching the squid pole to. Satellite map of the operating spot, taken from Google Maps. The track is known as Entrance trail.

Station, squid pole mounted on a tree stump

Shack on the tarp

There were some mosquitoes around, but had some Rid repellant for protection.

Got on 40m. Found the band fairly quiet, suspect a CME had wiped out a lot of the close by signals, as most were distant.

Found VK2YK Adam activating a silo, VK-MGL5, Magill silo, weak but workable.

Had good mobile coverage here so able to spot on Parksnpeaks. Worked on 40m

As had another park to do nearby, Combaning SCA ,VKFF-1305, packed up and headed off to this park. Sorry forgot to take photos so no blog for this park.
