Yesterday afternoon (local time) saw Russ activating 3 summits along Eskdale Spur in NE Victoria. The final summit was Mount Tawonga VK3/VE-076, which took him to MG.
Well done Russ: only 137 summits to reach the critical goal. A smattering of Winter Bonus points helped. All but a dozen (at a quick count) summits were in VK3, predominantly in the NE region - not surprising given that Russ lives in Albury, just of the border.
Hearty congratulations! Good to see you back on air after a break.
Thx everyone, it was a very ordinary day for conditions, when I could hear a chaser it was amongst heavy qsb, possibly the worst conditions I’ve experienced whilst activating.
On the bright side I managed goahood and worked ZL2ATH under trying conditions.
It helps when you live an hour from the heart of some of the highest and most numerous summits in VK.
A big thankyou to the chasers who stuck with it yesterday, and to the many chasers/activators I’ve worked over the last couple of years.
