Lameroo 2 silo VK-LMR5

Posted on by

Our third silo activation for the Silos On the Air (SiOTA) program for Tuesday 14th November 2023 was the Lameroo 2 silo VK-LMR5. Although it is referred to as Lameroo 2, it is actually located in the small town of Kulkami which is 30km northwest of Lameroo.

Kulkami is located about 185 km east of the city of Adelaide.

Kulkami is an aboriginal word meaning ‘to wait’. There isn’t much at Kulkami other than the silos, a Country Fire Service station, and some farmhouses.

We parked opposite the silos and operated from the 4WD, running the Icom IC7000, 100 watts, and the Codan 9350 antenna with the 1.5 metre stainless steel whip.
