Last weekend (Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th 2022) was the 32nd ALARA Contest for the Australian Ladies Amateur Radio Association (ALARA).
My wife Marija VK5MAZ is the ALARA Contest Manager.
Marija and I had a number of other commitments over the weekend. Marija spent most of Saturday out in the garden and on Sunday we went for a drive down to Goolwa and Hindmarsh Island in the 72 Chrysler VH. It was such a beautiful sunny day for a ‘cruise’.







Marija did manage a few hours on Saturday afternoon and a few hours again on Sunday afternoon for the ALARA Contest.
Marija ended up with 201 QSOs and a claimed score of 648 points.

nice car. I contacted a few YL’s that weekend. One got over a hundred contacts on Saturday which I thought was pretty good.
Hi Andrew,
Marija is the ALARA Contest Manager and is co-ordinating all the scores now. There were quite a few logs received which was really pleasing.
We had a nice Sunday out enjoying the sunshine, but Marija did sneak in some contacts on Sunday afternoon.
