update below  from Dom VK2JNA and team, operating VI100MB Centennial Anniversary  callsign for VK2MB Manly Warringah Radio Society (1923-2023): 

We have setup horizontal OCF antenna about 35ft & predominately using that. 

We have also setup 18m vertical with radials at edge of salt water mangroves.  Will use on low bands tonight

Running on batteries on club IC-7300

Great sigs

Nice & rf quiet here at Culburra Beach (near Nowra)

Taking turns & Leo has participated in his first contest. 

We had to build a long feedline, so Nick volunteered his 100m roll of Benelec coax.

We intend to go 24hr & just plod along waving the MWRS flag 

It’s nice that every so often we get asked what the special call is for giving us a chance to explain our MWRS Centenary
