Posted on by

On Thursday, 31st July 2025, Marija VK5MAZ and I headed out to activate the Bullock Hill Conservation Park VKFF-0873 for World Ranger Day.

The Bullock Hill Conservation Park is only a few km from our home QTH on the Fleurieu Peninsula. We have activated the park several times previously.

We set up in our normal spot, off Wattle Flat Road. We ran the Yaesu FT857, 40 watts, and the 20/40/80m linked dipole. Marija stayed with me for about 20 minutes and qualified the park for VKFF before heading back home.

Marija worked the following stations on 40m SSB:-

  1. VK3WSG
  2. VK3ARM/M
  3. VK3VIN
  4. VK3PF/P (VKFF-5790)
