The CQARA attended the Community Fun Day at Woodbury on 26th June 2022.
The CQARA attendees were Ray VK4XXX, Don VK4BY, Jeff VK4NJB and Bob VK4FRC not pictured
A marquee, tables, radios, signage, CW facility and antennas were set up for portable operation.
All operation was off battery supplies and solar panels mainly provided by Ray VK4XXX.
Bob set up a morse code station to allow participants to learn a little bit of morse code.
Participants received a certificate if they could send their name in morse code. Many children had a great time.
Ray set up a HF station with an end fed half wave antenna. Don set up a HF Winlink station also using an end fed half wave antenna.
Local interference prevented making any good contacts.Winlink was also suffering from RF interference on the computer.
Otherwise the CQARA had a good display and we spoke to many people.
Food and ice cream was provided by the organisers, so we all had a good time. Weather was excellent.
Thanks to those who attended and to the Livingstone Shire Council for facilitating the event.
