MAD-Sept-2Good morning – based on what has been posted here and on the BVHFG Facebook page, here’s a quick update ahead of next Sunday’s [19/9] MAD.
Following are the planned activators and locations…
VK4UH/P Mt Mowbullan [Bunya Mountains] 1.2 -> 24GHz
VK4CZ/P Mt Kanigan [Gunalda – north of Gympie] 1.2, 2.4, 3.4, 10GHz
VK4OE/P Kamarun Lookout [Border Ranges] 1.2 -> 24GHz
VK4UV/P Mt Barney car park [TBC] 1.2, 2.4, 3.4, 10GHz
VK4CSD/P Mt Coot-tha 24GHz
VK4AFL Birkdale [Home Station] 1.2 & 3.4GHz
VK4GU Deception Bay [Home Station] 1.2 -> 47GHz
VK4AMG Albany Creek (Home station) 1.2-2.4GHz
VK4MJF Bribie Island (home Station) 1.2-5.8GHz
VK4DCM/P Mt Cotton 1.2-2.4GHz
VK4KAY Warwick (Home station) 1.2 2.4 3.4 GHz
VK4CLG/P Howells Knob 1.2 2.4 3.4 10 GHz
I’ve also shared with the GCARS and Bayside Groups – both have indicated that they will be active on 1.2 and 2.4. As soon as I have details, I will share.
In addition, I did a reccie to Mt Kanigan yesterday. Operating from the highest point near the Weather Radar is impossible, and it’s made abundantly clear. But I will be able to set up near the Telstra and Comms towers, with a very clear take-off to the south.
