Microwave road trip to Adelaide late October around the AREG hamvention weekend - VK3BA - 06-03-2024
G'day All,
According to recent reports, the AREG or Adelaide Radio Experimenters Group and having a radio & electronics sale on Sat 26th October.
I’m quite sure I’ll be going, hopefully for at least a few days, possibly making a week of it. Maybe a few nights in Hahndorf and maybe a few around Glenelg down by the beach. I was going to take along my uWave gear, etc and maybe rattle the cage of a few VK5’s who might be interested in some microwave activity sessions. Is anyone else interested in doing similar??
If anyone is interested in such a road trip with some MAD sessions with the VK5’s, email me direct nikp007@bigpond.com and I’ll get the ball rolling, sort out some accommodation, set up some contacts and a rough programme. My vehicle will be chockas and no spare seats. I was thinking Hahndorf for the first few days as it’s up in the hills and Paul VK5PAS lives in the area I think – it’d be great to have him out for dinner one night. Then maybe a couple of nights around Adelaide somewhere to maybe arrange a dinner with a few local VK5 microwavers one night as well. Plus there’s a few traps around VK5 such as the many wineries…
Cheers,
