VK4VCC Update as at 19 June 2009

Firstly I must apologise for not updating my blog in quite some time. Chelsea VK4FWCC and I have been very quiet on the radio front. I don't think either of us have touched the radio since the John Moyle Memorial Field Day in late March.

With regards to the John Moyle Memorial Field Day, I would like to thank the organisers for sending Chelsea a Participation Certificate for her effort.

Unfortunately, the tower is still not where it should be, pointing up. I have made my mind up on our next HF antenna. It will be a HB36C from TET-Emtron. The HB36C is a modified version of the HB35C but with 6 elements.

With work commitments of late, I wasn't able to compete in the new VK Shires Contest held in early June. This looks like it will be a great contest, not just for VK, but for the DX community as well.

That's about it for now, I'm hoping to be a bit more active especially with a couple of big contests coming up.
