VK2MB - MWRS John Moyle Field Day Contest March 2020

Here are photos from the Manly Warringah Radio Society blog for when they operated portable for the  John Moyle Field Day Contest  on 21st & 22nd March 2020, just as the Covid lockdown began.

They still had good fun and did some radio contesting.

They operated from the Polblue Campground, Barrington Tops, NSW,  QF58RB  since they working HF,

however there are some nearby high spots, clear and worthy of  VHF, UHF and SHF activity.

WIA Summer VHF/UHF/SHF Field Day Contest 2020 and John Moyle Field Day Contest 2020

As for the WIA Summer VHF/UHF/SHF Field Day Contest held on Saturday/Sunday 18th/19th January, 2020, I wasn't able to participate as I was working that weekend.

Next contest is the John Moyle Field Memorial Field Day Contest, to be held Saturday/Sunday 21st/22nd March 2020.  This time I have properly completed 10GHz portable setup to take away with me, plus the usual 3.4 GHz, 23cm, 70cm, 2m, 6m maybe some HF.  Probably go to Gowan  NSW grid square QF46pu to operate portable.
