WWFF, SOTA, POTA and IOTA
Weekly Wrap Up
VK7 operators have been busy and getting into the activations this past week.
Matt, VK7MAT, activated Mount Montgomery State Reserve, followed by Don Heads Conservation Area later in the afternoon, both located in the northwest region. Upon attempting to access Mount Montgomery State Reserve, Matt, VK7MAT, encountered a locked gate with signage warning of a shooting range and restricted entry. Not keen on becoming a moving target, Matt, VK7MAT, took another look at the map and discovered an alternative access track. Be ready to adjust your plans to find the best route to a summit or park.
Phill, VK7ID, has been busy activating SOTA summits and parks in VK3. At the time of writing this wrap up, Phill, VK7ID, had activated 16 references and logged 124 QSOs, with plenty more planned for the trip. Some of the references include Flinders Peak Summit, You Yangs Regional Park, Wombat State Forest, Mt Warrenheip Summit, Pretty Sally Summit, Mount Disappointment Summit and Dandenong Ranges National Park. Phill, VK7ID, has another week in VK3 activating, make sure you tune in for a QSO and get yourself in the log.
Stuart, VK7FADZ, added another 8 points to his tally by activating the SOTA summit Trestle Mountain in Wellington Park. During the activation, Stuart logged 13 QSOs, including two summit-to-summit contacts, one of which was with Phill, VK7ID, from the Mt Disappointment SOTA summit in VK3.
Al, VK7AN, and Peter, VK7ZPE, activated Rathmolyn Conservation Covenant, located in Breadalbane, near the Launceston Airport. This park is one of the newer additions to the WWFF program, having been included in the last VK7 update.
That wraps up this week's updates for WWFF, SOTA, POTA, and IOTA! Thanks to everyone for your participation and dedication, whether youâ€Öre activating or hunting.
73, Matt, VK7MAT

Statewide SSTV Nights
Another slow net night that saw the following participants, VK7s – FGGT, NMH, ZAB and ZCF sending thirty five photos. The north south link was not operational so it wasnâ€Öt a state wide net but two separate local nets.
The highlights were:
Birds and “cute looking” mammals
Rocky and Bullwinkle
Elmer Fudd hunting ducks and wabbits
The ISS
A world Rally Championship car
Tourist attractions around the Tamar Valley and Cradle Mountain
The VK7RAA repeater site on Mt Arthur
A bowl of breakfast cereal presented as an Owl
And a frog sheltering from the rain
This week, Tony VK7AX again tuned his SSTV gateway transceiver to VK7RJG. Northern participants were then able to exchange photos via an International Gateway, this time with ON2PJ in Belgium. Tony is planning to activate the connection again next Thursday at 8:30 pm for 1 hour. He will put up a gateway Identifier when it is available. There is a delay in file transfers, so to minimise “double ups” a change in protocols is required. We will need to wait 30 seconds after the last transmission before sending the next photo to allow the gateway server to transmit any photos it has ready.
The photos sent can be monitored on the gateway server at the Web link in text version. https://www.qsl.net/vk7ax/sstvgate3/index.html
For this week the photos for the Southern Net can be seen on Ken VK7KRJâ€Ös and Steve VK7OOâ€Ös SSTV websites. While those from the Northern net can be seen on NTARCâ€Ös website under blogs. Note: Please do not send copyright photos.

After listening to last weekâ€Ös broadcast and the phenomenal list of successful VK7 Amateurs taking part in field days I decided to check out the competition section of the WIA web site. As a state we certainly did do extremely well. I ended up on a page entitled Contest Champion List for 2024, this recognises the score achievement of those amateurs who have participated in multiple WIA contests and have submitted a log. Out of a total entrant field of 286 people Nationally, Tasmania came in with 4 in the top 13 places.
https://www.wia.org.au/members/contests/contestchampion/
Second Place was achieved and awarded to Peter VK7KPC with a solid score of 380. Congratulations Peter, your ongoing enthusiastic participation in contests and with this result has come at a particularly interesting time for you.
Just in case everybody isnâ€Öt aware Peter and Kay have literally just finished packing their household belongings and these have been collected in readiness for their imminent relocation to South Australia. Needless to say the radio shack side of things did taking a bit longer…. However Peter has done an amazing job, but the club rooms are now bulging with items that didnâ€Öt make the final cut to be moved with them.
A farewell morning tea at the club rooms was held last Friday, aptly in the midst of all his “Radio Gems” as he calls them! HI HI. Adding the last of his received certificates to the NTARCs club “Brag Folder”, we cannot but wonder if obtaining the National second place was Peters “Last Hurrah” for NTARC and Tasmania. After what was intended to be a two year transfer to Tasmania by the Department Of Civil Aviation it ended up being a seventeen year stay. I am sure that all amateurs wish you well in your new adventure, the big winner really has been amateur radio in VK7. Thank you Peter and Kay for everything….
Last week I mentioned the live streaming of Wednesdayâ€Ös on air TechNet - Morse Code Course, hosted by Nic VK7WW. Jordan VK3ACU is providing an independent of Discord live stream of the evening and a copy is available on his YouTube channel after the event. So if you want to start off with Nic using the Manual Morse Chart for the decoding of the Morse Code being sent, then you are in luck. All weekly sessions have been recorded and added to Jordanâ€Ös channel.
The Manual Morse Chart allows you to decode the CW being sent with relative ease for those of us that donâ€Öt know Morse Code. Simplistically you move up, down or across the chart each time and depending on whether you hear a dot or a dash. Thatâ€Ös a little bit simplistic but check out the chart and you should be able to follow what I mean. Thank you Nic and Jordan for your time and effort.
The link to the saved live streamed Slow Morse Code Course using the Manual Morse Code Sheet is in the text version of the broadcast.

Andrew VK7DW is going to give a short presentation on the “Fram2Ham” Slow Scan TV simulation tests conducted from the International Space Station. These tests were designed to “simulate the challenges and unknowns” of transmitting 70 cm SSTV images hopefully from a Dragon capsule in the near future. See you at the club rooms this Wednesday night.

REAST ADX Build Update
A huge thank you to Richard VK2ARH and the Manly-Warringah Radio Society who have shared their wonderful kit build of the Arduino Digital Modes HF QRP Transceiver or ADX for short.
Last Wednesday night eight intrepid builders started their ADX build with some great results. Most got nearly half-way through the manual and so, made a great start.
The construction manual is excellent - with hints and tips throughout and colour photos to clearly show things like polarised components, orientation and testing points.
We had a team of three people helping the kit builders throughout the build and this hopefully gave our experienced and less experienced builders some support to ensure they were heading in the right direction.
This Wednesday night IS A KIT BUILD NIGHT not a presentation night. Our April presentation night is on 16th April 2025 so next week is a kit build night and we will be starting on winding the low pass filter inductors so we can progress to the next stage of the transmitter testing.

Technical News
TasGRN expanded to 400 sites
Motorola Solutions has announced the expansion of the Tasmanian Government Radio Network (TasGRN) to 400 sites across the state.
The public safety radio network, which is operated in collaboration with Telstra, was first launched in mid-2023. The network is used by emergency responders and government personnel to manage incidents and emergencies. Over the past 12 months, the network has supported an average of 310,000 voice calls spanning nearly 1000 hours per month, playing a vital role in the delivery of emergency services in the state.
The network is meanwhile being expanded with broadband push-to-talk functionality to enable different response agencies to communicate on any network or device for improved collaboration, incident awareness and safety.
The expansion of the network, which commenced deployment in 2021, coincides with the Australasian Police & Emergency Services Games (AP&ES Games) held recently in Hobart, according to Tasmanian Police AP&ES Games Director Renee Oates.
“From the athletics track to the mountain bike course, the 2200 athletes that descend on Tasmania will see that our agencies are supported by a world-class emergency communications network that enables them to connect with clarity and confidence wherever they roam across our island state,” Oates said. “Thanks to TasGRNâ€Ös reliable and secure voice and data communications, Tasmaniaâ€Ös emergency services are better equipped to respond to complex and unpredictable events including bushfires, storms and other threats to public security.”
Motorola Solutions provides public safety communications systems across Australia including Victoriaâ€Ös Metropolitan Mobile Radio Network, New South Walesâ€Ö Public Safety Network and Queenslandâ€Ös Government Wireless Network.
