A short video on our participation in the OCDX contest recently.
QTC and any other unfinished kit construction night. Please being along anything you need to work on your kit.
Some spare simple kits may be available on the night.
This year Nigel VK5NIG and Stuart VK5STU are operating as VK5WOW (A NERC Club callsign). Details of the contest can be found here.
The location for the station will be the Sandy Creek Conservation Park (location here) and we will be setup adjacent to the car park, accessible via Barossa Valley Way.
We plan to attempt the full 24 hrs and will be staying (not camping) overnight. If you wish to drop by or even get on air then you are more than welcome to come along. We should be there from around mid afternoon Saturday.
Join us for a show and tell of favorite parts, techniques etc.
A couple of new entries have just been added to the General links page:
Contesting from your backyard – great source of good info
Hamstudy – American based but good general information.
Thanks to Noah (a future member of our ham radio family possibly) for sending these in 🙂
