Highfields Pioneer Village Day 2

Posted by Jeff on April 24, 2011 at 5:20 AM

Day 2 was another glorious Autumn day at the village. Little bit of rain over night from the edge of the rain storm they had in Toowoomba, luckily no where near as much as they had in town causing damage to the Easterfest site.

As expected there was a lot more people in the village today after a slow start in the morning, of course it was Easter Sunday so all those Easter eggs left behind last night had to be found first thing this morning.

There was more activity on the bands today as well with VK4WID making many more contacts today via phone, cw and slow scan.

John Kirk brought along a cw key connected to speaker and a sheet with morse code on it for the children to make some noise with, it proved to be hit with the children, some returning for a second go and showing their parents and grand parents how they could spell out their names in morse code.

Tomorrow being Anzac day we will be operating under AX4WID, lest us forget.

Hope to hear you on the air,

73's
