Buffalo National Park over the weekend, and managed to activate The Horn and The Hump, both 10 pts. Then yesterday I went out for a day of activating with VK3HN and @vk3kr, and we covered Federation Range (8 pts), Mt. Strickland (6 pts), and Mt. Donna Buang (8 pts).I had little or no cell service at all of these, so self-spotting was difficult, and I was wishing I had set |

It was the first ever activation of this OKFF reference. We were blessed with perfect weather, but conditions were rather poor. #HC29S #hamradio #morsecode |
