The last chance for Europeans to work VK on 6M this cycle?
Being on the downward slide of cycle 23 it was most unlikely that much DX would be
worked from my home town of Brisbane. What to do? If the DX doesn't
come to you then move to where the DX will probably occur... the north western
coast of Australia!
Broome was selected as the location for my portable operation for the simple reason
that there was an airport in town making the trip fly-in, fly-out. The
only resident amateur in Broome is Bill Webber, VK6JQ, a callsign that will be
familiar to many. Bill is generally regarded as the front-line of VK and
the only regular 6m operator in VK6 outside of the capital city, Perth.

Got an idea of how big Australia is now?
