  • Ever wondered what ham radio operators do when they go portable? Well one of the things is brave the elements. That's exactly what we did when we went out for the annual VHF/UHF "summer" Field Day weekend held on January 16th & 17th 2021. The things we do for ham radio... 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

    Vid suggestion. How contesting works in Aus. How to enter and how to operate? I find the WIA site a bit vague for a noob.

    The guy on the bike thinks they are crazy ? That's the top of Mt Wellington - almost 1300m climb up from sea level. That's a lot of pedalling in the wind and rain

    I'm confused. This was the 'Summer VHF/UHF Field Day'... clearly you got it wrong. I'm [stupidly] sun burnt from my effort [Oh yeah, that's right, I live in the sub-Tropics.... I like it up here ;) ]

      Yes, we had topsy-turvy seasons this year for the VHF/UHF Field Days in southern VK. Winter's had better weather than summer's, eg ua-cam.com/video/vWJi_UHThLA/v-deo.html
