Oceania Dx Contest 2013
VK4NM and VK4LAT are pushing the envelope to win a third straight Multi Single title in the Oceania Contest this weekend – The crew from St George certainly have the runs on the board and the low noise remote western Queensland location will be hot enough this weekend without amplifiers in the caravan..
Temperatures are expected in the 30s so a nice beer drinking climate.
VK3FY has an excuse of being able to go to the Rugby League Grand Final and VK4KW will be in there competing with some new hardware..
