We made a total of 518 QSOs on 20, 40, & 80m SSB into VK1, VK2, VK3, VK4, Vk5, VK6, VK7, New Zealand, Italy, & the Canary Islands.

We would like to thank those who took the time to spot us on parksnpeaks and Facebook, as a number of the parks we were in, were remote, and we had no phone coverage.

More info and photos on each activation will appear on my WordPress site in the coming week or so.
