post mortem summary of the WIA Summer VHF/UHF/SHF Field Day Contest 12th/13th January 2019
here is summary of the weekend:
operated from Mt.Lambie (QF46xm) on Saturday afternoon, 2m SSB, 23cm SSB, 9cm SSB, 6m (52.525) FM, 70cm (439.000) FM. At last minute we didnt take 6m yagi or multimode. The 70cm yagi for SSB did not work, later finding a damaged centre pin in connector, and did not take 10 GHz unit as too big to fit it. It was clear skies, so solar panel & battery adequately provided power, so did not need to run generator. Packed up and left Mt.Lambie at 5pm.
Saturday night at QF46pu, we did some portable microwave contacts with Dave VK2JDS (QF46pu) across to Justin VK2CU's location (QF46qu), worked all 11 x bands 50 Mhz to 76 GHz until midnight.
Sunday morning did not go to QF46xe, instead stayed at QF46pu to operate all bands again, then continued on after lunch doing contacts for Ross Hull Contest. Also did some driving around looking for possible portable sites, ie. high spots that can be cleared.
