Central Coast Field Day 2019

went to the Central Coast Field Day  yesterday (Sunday 24th February) held by the Central Coast ARC at Wyong Racecourse, little bit of rain, lacking in stalls from previous years, but still good to catch up with new and known microwavers and weak signal DXers, plus adding faces to callsigns. Good to see Rex VK7MO visiting too..
