It's a fun weekend, bring your tent, camper trailer, caravan, whatever and enjoy the bush setting and a rare opportunity to operate HF in a low noise location. |
The campsite is flat, well shaded, all you need to bring is shelter, bedding, food and something to drink. For those that stay Saturday night, there may be a surprise camp oven meal to reward the workers. |
