Justice Robert Hope Park VKFF-3181

Wednesday was a nice warm day, with a top around 23c, so figured a good day to do another WWFF park activation. Returned to finish Justice Robert Hope Park, VKFF-3181. Last activation made 33 contacts, so another 11 needed for the 44.

Parked off Antill St Watson near the park entrance and sign.

Last activation I activated not far from the gate, this time wanted to take a look deeper into the reserve so wandered down the tracks. Spotted a shingleback lizard in the grass.


Found a log suitable for operating from and squid pole support.


Looking back the other way.


Checked the antenna with the analyser, quite good, resonant at 7.141 Mhz.


Radio and myself on the log


Got on 40m on 7.144 Mhz. After spotting on ParksnPeaks got a steady stream of park hunters.

VK3SQ, VK3VIN, VK3PF, VK2MET/VK1AO, VK2IO, VK5PAS, VK3ACZ, VK2HHA, VK3YV, VK4TJ.

Tried going to 20m, no answers, probably a bit early in the afternoon for Europe.

Saw a spot for a SOTA activation on 7.090, so returned to work VK7HAM Rod on VK7/NE-018 Mount Littlechild.

Had 12 QSOs so park completed for WWFF. Packed up and headed home.
