Mt Vinegar revisited - VK3MRG Amateur Radio
http://vk3mrg.weebly.com/blog/mt-vinegar-revisited
Activated 21 September 2014. This was my second activation of Mt Vinegar with much better weather this time around compared with my first activation of this summit back on 2 June 2013. As soon as the FT-817 was set up, my first contact on 40 metres was an S2S with Rod VK2TWR on VK2/ST-020 and then worked a steady stream of chasers until my last contact with Amanda VK3FQSO. All up, not a bad activation with a total of 25 contacts logged. Create a free website. Create your own free website.

http://vk3mrg.weebly.com/blog/bill-head-vk3vn-004-mt-bullfight-vk3vn-002
Bill Head VK3/VN-004 and Mt Bullfight VK3/VN-002. These two summits were on the planning list for awhile. Within striking distance of home and attractive because they are both worth 8 points plus winter bonus and are within range of each other within a day. The operating rock on Bill Head summit. Activated 8 September 2013. Near the Summit of Mt Bullfight. Some of the thicker bush that I had to penetrate to reach Mt Bullfight summit. Mt Bullfight operating spot. Thanks to all the stations I worked. I...

Mt Torbreck and Bill Head revisited - VK3MRG Amateur Radio
http://vk3mrg.weebly.com/blog/mt-torbreck-and-bill-head-revisited
Mt Torbreck and Bill Head revisited. The prominent cairn on Mt Torbreck. Activated 22 June 2014. It was just short of a year since I last activated Mt Torbreck. I initially was going to head off and do Pyramid Hill next but as the car was already parked on Con Gap Road I thought I might as well attack Bill head from the north. In hindsight Pyramid Hill would probably have been easier. On my last activation of Bill Head. My operating position on Bill Head. Create a free website. Start your own free website.

Amateur radio with VK1DA. About VK1DA’s blog. Hamradio photos from my flickr site. RD Contest – State Scoring formula. 14 March, 2012. Is the RD contest state score formula correct, and is it fair? There has been a lot of concern about the RD contest state score formula, and conjecture about how it can be improved. I have written this to clarify my thoughts and to show others what my analysis of the scoring formula reveals. To analyse the situation we have to start with some assumptions. We find that the...

Equipment sales: name your price | Amateur radio with VK1DA
http://vk1da.net/blog/2009/02/23/equipment-sales-name-your-price
Amateur radio with VK1DA. About VK1DA’s blog. Hamradio photos from my flickr site. Equipment sales: name your price. 23 February, 2009. I have noticed some sellers of used radio equipment make life more difficult than necessary for themselves, by being quite unclear about what they really want for the gear. ie. what is their asking price? Before trying to answer that, let’s consider a few examples of unrealistic pricing or expectations. In other consumer goods no-one would expect anything for a 20 year o...
