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.

And found a number of eligible parks within 30 – 45 minutes of my home QTH, so there was no excuse for not getting out there. I chose my park – Popran National Park. While waiting f...
