radio in the trees.

Well it’s been a bit since we’ve posted here, but anyway hopefully this will get everything up to date.
In early November Hannah (VK3GNU) and myself (VK3LNX) went to the Bunyip state park to see how well we could work in the forest.
We took our vertical whip that we purchased from a recent hamfest, and a 40 Metre dipole that we had constructed for taking out into the forest.
We had little luck with the vertical (though we did on another morning get into a 80m net and got in fine). So we strung up the dipole into the trees, nice and high. But unfortunately the bands were rather quiet, but in the end we proved we could operate out bush so to speak.
