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 WIA, WICEN, RSGB and ARRL. I have also been a member of the NERG Radio Club for over 20 years.
The Annual Winter trips to the Bogong High Plains in both 2020 and 2021 were sadly not possible due to Victorian COVID-19 restrictions. Despite being ready with gear, training and enthusiasm, we will need to set our sites on getting out in to the snowy wilderness in 2022. We are working on having the capability to undertake FT8 and other data modes well-suited to QRP activity and have developed a number of new pieces of ultra light kit to enable this.
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.
