Saltwater National Park VKFF-0439

Took a couple of weeks off work to head up to Northern NSW, and escape the Canberra winter for a while.😄 After driving through Sydney and stoppinbg overnight at Port Nelson drove to my first park, Saltwater National Park VKFF-0439. This is located South of the town of Old Bar. Sign for the park..

View from the headland. Nice but a bit public to operate from.

Drove into the picnic area. Lots of nice open grassy spots for a station. Found a nice secluded area. The picnic tables were not good for mounting a squid pole to so used my own...

Looking back the other way

Shack on the table

Got on 40 m. Fairly quiet as a week day. Still a steady flow of callers

Saw a spot on ParksnPeaks that VK5BJE John could not hear me on 40 m. So went to 20 m and worked him easily with a 52 signal.No other calls though on this band.

Added in the 80 m extension wires and gave this band a go. 2 more contacts

VK2LEE Lee in nearby Scone, very strong.

Packed up and headed for my next stop, North Brother SOTA summit.
