Stanley VK3BOT, again arranged a terrific week away at the Noojee Poplars Camp Ground.
WHERE:
Loch Valley Road Noojee.. Poplars Campground Noojee. Click Here for Google Map
WHEN:
From Monday 21st October.
Who Went:
Stanley VK3BOT, Craig VK3NCR, Phillip VK3LRO, Gerard VK3GER, Ken VK3MJF, Daryl VK3HBP, Colin VK3CR, Greg VK3ND (Ring in) Rowdy SWL.
Stanley and myself (Craig) turned up around midday on Monday, with the rest turning up either later in the day a day or so later.. We managed to set up some wire antennas and all played HF.. The noise floor is basically nothing in the bush. So we all enjoyed many contacts on HF. The camp ground also has reasonable 4G so we could also use HotSpot for DStar use, as well as AllStar.
The weather was very kind to us with perfect conditions on Monday and Tuesday, however the rest of the week was very nice but with a few odd showers here and then.
Facilities:
Toilets, Camp Sites, Camp Kitchen & Shelter, Beautiful Grassed Areas, Walks, Beautiful Small Stream, Lots of Trees, Quiet Audio and RF.
We had a few question at the club asking if there were the following...
BBQ - No... Power - No... Showers - No... Shop or Store - No... Fuel - No... McDonalds - No...
Target - No...
Looks like a fantastic week Craig. Can’t wait
Looks like fun sorry I could get there, but medicals are now getting in the way. Would like to get away with you guys. Glad the weather was kind to you all.
I think Graig missed his calling. However, as Craig has said, it was an excellent week. Mostly we were on 40 metres.
It was interesting to see Dstar worked from the network setup.
At this point in time I propose another club run in late March/early April next year, again at the Poplars Campground.
Great that the weather was good and you all had a wonerful time.
