Heritage Agreement VKFF-4307 and Flinders Island OC-261

Posted on by

After our activation of the Investigator Marine Park, Adam VK2YK and I headed back to the homestead on Flinders Island and had some lunch. We then jumped into the operator chairs of VK5FIL.

Later that afternoon Adam and I headed out to activate Heritage Agreement VKFF-4307 located on the northwestern side of Flinders Island.

To access the park we headed northwest on one of the dirt tracks on the island. We soon reached a gate that had a ‘Heritage Area’ sign. We followed that 4WD track down to Gem Beach.

The Heritage Agreement extends from Gem Point to Pont Malcom.

The park is about 280 hectares in size and was established on the 29th day of August 1995. (CAPAD 2022)

I ran the Yaesu FT857, 40 watts and the 20/40/80m linked dipole for this activation.

I logged a total of 152 stations on 20m SSB & 40m SSB. This included a large amount of DX on 20m.
