Kyeema Conservation Park VKFF-0826

Posted on by

On Saturday 21st October 2023, Marija VK5MAZ and I activated the Kyeema Conservation Park VKFF-0826 for the 2023 VKFF Team Championship.

We have activated Kyeema a number of times previously, but it was close to home and suited us as we had a big day planned for Sunday with the Bay to Birdwood Classic Car Rally.

For more information on the Kyeema Conservation Park, please have a look at my previous post……

Kyeema Conservation Park VKFF-0826

We set up in our normal spot off Woodgate Hill Road. There is a nice clearing here with plenty of room to string out the dipole antenna.

We ran the Yaesu FT857, 40 watts, and the 20/40/80m linked dipole.

We made a total of 72 QSOs between us. This included 12 Park to Park contacts.

The highlight of the activation was to work the special event station ZL6WG, promoting the 2024 NZART Conference in Christchurch, New Zealand.
