In late March/Early April I managed to sneak away from family life and spend 9 days tackling some of the high point summits in VK3, and have it line up with the VK3 Mt Hotham SOTA weekend.
Collected 186 points, which given I had a total of 149 when I left after about 2 years of activating I’m not at all upset about.
Great write-up - I suffer from the same focus on radio and not eating or even drinking enough…
Agree re groundsheet - find something annoyingly bright - a bit heavy for your needs but I use a blue tarp - great if I need to indicate where I am too.
Are you an IOS or Android person? I simply can not recommend enough cheap android with no sim running @VK3ZPF 's portalog - I forgot the one once and man the reminder of paper logging ensured I never did again.
