The Central Coast Amateur Radio Club (CCARC) held its 2021 Field day last weekend 30th May 2021,
it was held later than normal, due to Covid disruptions. Here are a few pics from Wyong by Phil VK2APL, one photo showing members of Manly Warringah Radio Society (MWRS-VK2MB) having a catchup, including visitor and past member Bruce VK4MQ who travelled down from VK4.
the heavy rain and wind has made a mess of going contest portable on eastern seaboard,
but at least two groups out there portable :
Manly Warringah Radio Society (MWRS) gone portable to Gundaroo NSW QF45oa just north of VK1
to operate HF to 23cm as club callsign VK2MB/p
and also the
Eastern & Mountain District Radio Club (EMDRC) operating portable near Blackwood (n.w. of Melbourne) QF22dm15 operating as VK3ER/p 160m to 47GHz
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.
