due to Covid19 isolation winding up at start of March, I decided not to go away for the JMFD contest, my local club still went, to Barrington Tops, I didnt think it be useful as a contest for UHF and above, as they were camping in a valley, but there were some excellent high spots 10 minutes drive from campsite. Keep that for a future contest. Also due to Covid shutdown the WIA AGM in Hobart postponed to May 2021. And the GippsTech Conference postponed until July 2021
I had some discussion with some other contesters about June FD contest, we thought to drive to northern NSW to work the VK4 microwavers, however, that was soon scrapped, as the Covid19 shutdown would prevent that, with no real idea on when we can get back to normal, so we set our eyes for November as the next VHF-UHF-SHF contest FD. The June contest will just have to be done from home this year, I think at this stage.
Dates for remainder of the year:
The Winter Contest is Sat/Sun 20th/21st June 2020,
The Spring Contest is Sat/Sun 28th/29th Nov 2020
November should have us back to normal as far as travelling interstate. It not too hot to go to VK4. I wondering if the VK5's planning any roadtrips, they might want to join us for some serious microwave contesting in VK4. Lots of good mountain tops for microwaving around VK4/VK2 border.
While I am at it, here are dates for next year :
The Summer Contest is Sat/Sun 16th/17th Jan 2021
The Winter Contest is Sat/Sun 26th/27th Jun 2021
The Spring Contest is Sat/Sun 27th/28th Nov 2021
