Remembrance Day contest from the bush

On a recent trip in the outback I tried to operate QRP portable in the RD contest...


The location was in South Australia in a place called Parachilna Gorge.  On a gravel road between Blinman and Parachilna.

I was using the KX3 into a dipole antenna and on one side (towards VK2) I had very tall mountain.  I got surprisingly good reports from VK7, VK4 and of course locals VK5.

The image above shows the antenna and the camper.  Great spot to spend afternoon and play radios.

The results of the Commonwealth contest were published.

  As I member of the team Australia 2, I was quite pleased with the result.
