SOTA Mount Kaputar VK2/NW-001

After stopping overnight in Narrabri headed up to Mount Kaputar. The road up is unsealed but easy, although some narrow sections where you need to look out for oncoming cars, as not enough room to pass. Reached the car park of Mount Kaputar, 1500m ASL

It was cold, some remnant snow on a log near the car park.

 Went to the lookout. A nice clear day, no clouds and wind, good views.

Set up the dipole on the wooden deck out to the trig. Unlike the last time I activated here it was not blowing a gale, so able to put the squid pole up all the way.

As only a short walk from the car I had my 40aH battery pack, so able to run the FT857D at 50w. Got on 40m, able to spot easily here. Worked
