After dinner at the Mallacoota Hotel, Marija and I headed back to the Bed and Breakfast. As it was a Monday night (13th November 2017) I decided to go for a quick drive down to the Croajingolong National Park VKFF-0119 and book in to the 7130 DX Net.
I decided not to worry about rolling out the linked dipole, but rather, operated from the vehicle using the Icom IC-7000, 100 watts, and the Codan 9350 self tuning antenna.
The 40m band was in great shape and I logged a total of 14 stations on the net from VK2, VK3, VK4, VK7, and Canada. I was very pleased to log Terry VE6POH who was 5/9 to me. He reciprocated with a 5/7 for me.

Above:- Robert VK7VZ/2’s signal. Peaking nearly 40/9 into the mobile.
I worked the following stations on 40m SSB:-
- VK7VAZ
- VK3IDX
- VK2FOUZ
- VK2EMI
- VK2NED
- VK7FRJG
- VK2STO
- VK3FLES
- VK7VZ/2
- VK7CC
- VK7KEV
- VK7RN
- VK4ATH
- VE6POH.
Nice DX there from the mobile!
