Summer UHF/VHF Field Day

Post date: Jan 27, 2018 3:47:47 AM

Summertime it brings on the callingAnd then you will see them in droves

To the high points and mountains all steering

Chasing CQs and contacts in troves

Did you play radio two weekends ago in the Summer UHF/VHF Field Day??

With us still recovering from Christmas and New Year celebrations - there wasn’t much chatter about it here in VK6. I guess it’s an easier game to play if you live on the east coast with higher densities and shorter distances for UHF/VHF contacts.

It’s time to get your logs in to Roger Harrison VK2ZRH - interim contest manager.

Some critical information missing from the WIA Website, but appearing towards the end of the contest rules PDF is “Logs must be received by midnight, Monday 22 January 2018.” - and Roger had a preference for early log submission.

I know… I know.. .that was last Monday.

If you haven’t submitted it yet - better get cracking and work out a story. Submission is electronic - but feel free to blame Australia Post.

Did you miss out?? Well - for Game of Thrones Fans - “Winter is Coming”.

The Winter 2018 event will be held over Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 June.
