The VHF/UHF Field Day wrapped up at 0100z today. My efforts were centred entirely around 1296MHz with contacts only made there in the last 24 hours (except for one exception, that being UR5FA/MM on 50MHz late Saturday afternoon)

As the VHF/UHF antenna here at VK4CZ are still to grace tower #3, the 36el 1296MHz DL6WU yagi was placed on a short pole and positioned on the driveway. Whilst no remarkable contacts were had, it was good to work a number of stations around Brisbane and also Doug VK4OE/P near Springbrook.
This morning, Peter VK4EA/P made the effort to active 'my' Field Day spot near Kobble Creek with operations on 1.2, 2.4, 3.4 and 5.7GHz.

An amazing path between VK4EA/P and VK4OE/P as can be seen in this video of the 2.4GHz contact with signals observed at RS59+40.
