VK2FDGN

I am now on air with my new call sign of VK2FDGN and I am on HF, VHF and UHF governed by the Foundation Licence 10 Watt max but I am normally on the Bindo Repeater for 2M, 3575 on 80M and the national call frequency on UHF.
I have been very busy setting up the Radio Shack and haven't had time to build any other projects but more to come and now I hope to do some for Amateur Radio.
I competed in the Amateur Radio Remembrance Day Competition with the Amateur Radio Central West Group, VK2ACW on the weekend of 15/16 August and we had a fantastic time. We made over 260 contacts over the 24 hour period which wasn't bad given two of us were newbies and I had only had my licence for two weeks so I had a lot to learn. This may have earned us a 3rd place if the count is correct, will have wait for the official results to be sure.
Anyway more projects to come soon.
