On Friday 9th November 2018, Marija VK5FMAZ and I headed over to Victoria to take part in the 2018 Activation Weekend for the Keith Roget Memorial National Parks Award (KRMNPA). We stayed for 2 nights at the Murrayville caravan park in north western Victoria.
We activated a total of 11 parks, including 2 Victorian National Parks for the KRMNPA weekend. Between us, Marija and I made a total of 548 QSOs. This included 64 x Park to Park contacts.

Thanks to everyone who called us, and a big thanks to those who took the time to spot us on parksnpeaks and/or Facebook, as we did not have internet coverage in many of the parks.
