After leaving the Yanga National Park on Saturday, 18th October 2025, Marija and I headed to our next activation, the Yanga State Conservation Area VKFF-1773.

The park is about 34,557 hectares in size and was gazetted on the 28th day of February 2007. (CAPAD 2024) (NSW National Parks, 2025)

We had no internet coverage, so we appreciate those who took the time to spot us on parksnpeaks.

We operated from the Willows campground area and we ran the Yaesu FT847, 40 watts, and the 20/40/80m linked dipole for this activation.
