I activated the Mount Remarkable National Park on the morning of Sunday 5th May, 2013, before heading home to Adelaide after 3 nights at Melrose in the southern Flinders Ranges.

I used my Yaesu FT-817nd, 5 watts, and my BandHopper 40m/20m linked dipole supported by a 7m squid pole.

I made contact with 7 stations, all on 40m including 3 SOTA QSO’s.

Stations worked were:- Andrew VK1NAM/p (SOTA VK1/AC-027); Larry VK5LY; Alan VK3HRA; Al VK1RX/p (SOTA VK1/AC-021); Ian VK1DI/p (SOTA VK1/AC-031); Ron VK3AFW; & David VK5LSB.
