I took advantage of the weather this weekend and went to Baw Baw Village to operate portable for several hours.

(IC-705, 4EL 2m antenna, and a 10EL 70cm antenna)

Radio conditions were pretty good on 2m. I got several great VK7 contacts on 2m which was fantastic. 70cm was a bit harder, and I struggled a bit getting the locals in the Melbourne suburbs.

(Unique 2m contacts)

 

(Unique 70cm contacts)

Furthest contact was VK7NW at 403km, on both 2m and 70cm. Fantastic.

Already looking forward to the next field day.
