Annual New Year's tradition of climbing a #SOTA summit and seeing in the UTC new year for double points. This year I went to Mount Buller and made a bunch of S2S contacts on 40 metres, to ACT, NSW, Tasmania, South Australia and of course Victoria. After the new year rollover, also participated in the 2m/70cm challenge, with 5 contacts on 2m SSB and 1 on 70cm SSB, vertically polarised via a slim Jim for 2m. Worked #fedihams @vk3xe and @vk3kr for added measure.
