Snow gum near Mt Nelse, Victorian Alps
Welcome to the VK3SN webpage.
My home QTH is in north-east Melbourne, Australia (QF22me)
Here you will find updates on my radio work and related adventures.
Much of my radio work is done whilst mobile or portable, often from remote and wild locations in the Australian Alpine Region. I am a member of the CIARC, WIA, WICEN, RSGB and ARRL. I have also been a member of the NERG Radio Club for over 20 years.
The Annual Winter trip to the Bogong High Plains was a success in 2024! We were up in the mountains from Wednesday 7 to Sunday 11 August. We operated on FT8 and SSB on 80 to 10m as well as 2/70 FM simplex and via repeaters. The team included VK3SN, VK3GT, VK3FIRH, VK3FMAW, VK3ICE and VK3HUW. Thanks to all who worked our portable QRP station in the snow.
See the Winter Trips page and the slide show for photos from previous trips. I also operate mobile from my vehicle and will operate HF/VHF/UHF mobile during the five hour drive to and from the High Plains.
