Last night (Friday 17th June 2016) I delivered a presentation on operating portable, to the Amateur Radio Experimenters Group (AREG) at Fulham.
Topics covered were why to operate portable, WWFF, the VK5 Parks Award, what equipment to use, and some operating tips.
A number of amateurs in the audience were already keen portable operators, but hopefully I may have encouraged others who were present to give it a go.
I also sighted documentation for a number of those present for registering with Logbook of the World as I am an official ARRL DXCC card checker.
Many thanks to Matt VK5ZM and the rest of AREG for giving me the opportunity of speaking.
I need to get to an AREG meeting.

Hi Chris,
I can highly recommend a visit to AREG. They are a very motivated and active group of amateurs, and demographically have a much lower membership age.
Cheers,
