visit to REAST club site, Queens Domain, Hobart, Tasmania

 while driving up to the Queens Domain lookout in Hobart, stumbled onto the REAST club site, and Tas Marine Radio operations site, formerly the Commonwealth coastal Wireless Station site.

Just near this site is the city water reservoir storage, two massive concrete tanks,  up high, you can park near them, you can walk on the roof (thick concrete slab) you could take some portable microwave gear here to work across to sites like Mt.Nelson  to do your 10 GHz  up to  122GHz  contacts, the concrete slab is surrounded by heavy duty railing, so easy to lash up a small  lightweight mast for smallish 2metre yagi, or 70cm yagi., solar panel, battery,  portable operation. Easy done.
