Mt Vinegar revisited - VK3MRG Amateur Radio
http://vk3mrg.weebly.com/blog/mt-vinegar-revisited
Activated 21 September 2014. This was my second activation of Mt Vinegar with much better weather this time around compared with my first activation of this summit back on 2 June 2013. As soon as the FT-817 was set up, my first contact on 40 metres was an S2S with Rod VK2TWR on VK2/ST-020 and then worked a steady stream of chasers until my last contact with Amanda VK3FQSO. All up, not a bad activation with a total of 25 contacts logged. Create a free website. Create your own free website.

Mt Torbreck and Bill Head revisited - VK3MRG Amateur Radio
http://vk3mrg.weebly.com/blog/mt-torbreck-and-bill-head-revisited
Mt Torbreck and Bill Head revisited. The prominent cairn on Mt Torbreck. Activated 22 June 2014. It was just short of a year since I last activated Mt Torbreck. I initially was going to head off and do Pyramid Hill next but as the car was already parked on Con Gap Road I thought I might as well attack Bill head from the north. In hindsight Pyramid Hill would probably have been easier. On my last activation of Bill Head. My operating position on Bill Head. Create a free website. Start your own free website.

Bill Head VK3/VN-004 & Mt Bullfight VK3/VN-002 - VK3MRG Amateur Radio
http://vk3mrg.weebly.com/blog/bill-head-vk3vn-004-mt-bullfight-vk3vn-002
Bill Head VK3/VN-004 and Mt Bullfight VK3/VN-002. These two summits were on the planning list for awhile. Within striking distance of home and attractive because they are both worth 8 points plus winter bonus and are within range of each other within a day. The operating rock on Bill Head summit. Activated 8 September 2013. Near the Summit of Mt Bullfight. Some of the thicker bush that I had to penetrate to reach Mt Bullfight summit. Mt Bullfight operating spot. Thanks to all the stations I worked. I...

The VK Shires Splatter Fest - VK3MRG Amateur Radio
http://vk3mrg.weebly.com/blog/the-vk-shires-splatter-fest
The VK Shires Splatter Fest. Excuse my increasing cynicism dear reader, when it comes to various amateur radio contests that crowd the HF bands on many weekends. I was hoping, but he returned to the frequency a few minutes later after at least one other station came up saying “where did the noise go? So how can it be that an amateur radio operator with an advanced licence running a station supposedly within the maximum 400 watt power output limit produce such a over-driven, filthy signal? Excellent post ...

Circus Of The Air. Last weekend was a busy one for radio activity with The John Moyle Field Day being the main event. A number of SOTA activations were planned to coincide with the event which was good to see. I have been involved for the past five years as an operator on the JMFD contest with the EMDRC under the club callsign VK3ER and as usual we were perched on top of Mt Cowley (VK3/VC-022) for the event. Although I sometimes find contest stations and the general mayhem to be annoying at times, I ackn...

New Year SOTA Adventures. The operating position on Briarty Hill with the kids in the background. Activated across 31 December 2013 and 1 January 2015. I tuned up on 40 metres and logged my first. Once the New Year arrived, I held my frequency and worked 10 SOTA stations straight in as many minutes. The following 30 minutes settled down to a comfortable pace with seven more S2S stations worked. When the New Year rolled over I worked a total of 29 contacts with 16 unique summits.

The view of Mt Beauty township from Mt Emu. Activated 21 August 2014. This was my second visit to Mt Emu, the first being a memorable joint activation with Allen VK3HRA on 6 Otober 2013.
