Back to basics at a hidden park - Rarangi Scenic Reserve

Don't worry - we are not entirely lost.
I've been looking at this park for a while on the map but I've always been unsure on exactly how to get to it. This time I think that I've worked it out.
Today I'm at Rarangi Scenic reserve. I've swapped back to my 7m mast but today I'm using a 40m EFHW - hopefully I have enough space available to be able to put it up.
It's another beautiful day in Marlborough and the contacts are coming pretty steadily which is great. I also make an unexpected impromptu radio appearance to the Nelson HamCram.
Join me for what is really a very simple activation on a sunny summers day.
I purchased my G90 from Techoman: techoman.co.nz
I purchased my IC-705 from RWB: rwb.co.nz/prod...

Thanks for the support Glenn I really appreciate it. Really a month off? It’s a great time of year to be taking a break. Hope you get to do some activations as well. I’ll listen out for you.

Thanks Nigel. The clothing is done by digitees (www.digitees.co.nz/). They are very reasonably priced and delivery is very quick. I had to find an alternative after it was suggested by some members of the family that what I was wearing in some of the very first videos should be changed (lol).

It looks like a nice day there Nick. So were all those activations on 40m? Pretty good for daylight hours…. Good activation! Thx for sharing!

[@zl2neb]

Thanks - yes it was a really good day out, just the right temperature. All the activations that you see in my videos (so far) are on 40m. It’s really the best option here for getting ZL chasers.
