Big mountain, small voice, many ears. Last weekend was a contest double-bill with the Remembrance Day and Lighthouse contests. Receiver strip, now with replacement audio stage using a TDA7052. Instead of the prescribed LM380. 867MHz IF filter, SA612 product detector, TL072 op amp, 2N2222 BFO. With a 10MHz IF and 3MHz VFO, which sounds sweet.
As is now the custom that on NYD a large number of Australian SOTA operators decide to wake up very early and head up hills for a mass activation. Whilst many Australians are still in bed nursing a hangover SOTA operators have packed up their kit and enjoying the first day working HF with others atop mountains.
I found a spot near the edge of the park where I could set up at the back of the car. It was also up high, where most of the car parks and picnic grounds tend to be down in the gullies. I started off looking for other activators, and the called for a bit around 7. About 20 contacts were made on 40m. Later I tried 20m, with no joy. 2 Otway Summits and Mt Leura.
Mining for SOTA gold in Reefton. On The SOTA bug is biting.
