On 17th February 2017 I activated the Mount George Conservation Park VKFF-0784 which is located in the Mount Lofty Ranges, east of Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia.
Unfortunately the weather forced me to go QRT early and I only logged 15 stations from VK, including one Park to Park contact with VK3HSB in the Lake Eildon National Park VKFF-0625 in Victoria.

After a few rainy days its was time to go out for another activation. I decided to go to Demerbroeken, a large protected area in JO21LA. The last part of the trip I had to go by bycicle. I can put all the gear on the bicycle and drive a few miles.


An update to Logsearch has just been released:
Nice, sunny weather, mild -6C and no wind. Perfect weather to activation. My wife and I went with skies to Pihlajavesi nature protected area, OHFF-0205. Pihlajavesi have thousands of islands and it just a small part of great lake area Saimaa. We skied about 3 kilometers over ice to small islet near Snake Island. I had old army skies and plastic sled. All radio stuff was packed on the sled. Nowdays I can ski just slow speed but no problem, every step is forward.
“Wortel-Kolonie‘ has a rich history. It was once a home for tramps, nowadays the buildings have a function as a jail. The surrounding forest and fields are ONFF-0046 for WWFF hunters and activators. Some wind and rain showers couldn’t keep me home.
