OZFF-ing meeting Jakob and Finn

So last Sunday I went out /P while on holiday in OZ. I started out in OZFF-0100 where I found that the best option I had was to climb a hill covered in trees. So I threw a fishing line into a tree and pulled my wire antennas up that way.

I started on an instable 20m with a lot of short skip. QSB was strong but a steady stream of chasers kept me on this band for more than an hour. I then set up a sloping wire for 40m. The set-up was not ideal and the band in a poor shape. 
In total I logged 107 different OMs from 22 DXCCs with most activity from I, DL, G, PA and SP.

I quickly dismantled my station and left for OZFF-0098 to meet up with Jakob OZ7AEI and Finn OZ3FI of the OZFF team. I know Jakob already from the start of the WWFF program but so far we had only had contact via e-mail and SSB. 

I arrived at the designated location to find Jakob and Finn already there. We had a quick chat but decided we could not let the chasers wait for too long. 

We spread out a bit to make the station to station QRM bearable. Finn went for 17m and 30m CW and Jakob and I used 20m and 40m. Finn had issues with his battery, which meant he had to stop operations early. We took a break and had some time for coffee and chat.

Finn then left us and Jakob and I continued on 20m and 40m. 

In about 1,5 hours radio time (we spent about the same time chatting) I logged 105 different chasers from 28 DXCC evenly spread over 20m and 40m. Jakob also logged 100+ QSOs on the same bands.

On 40m I used a delta loop and on 20m an end fed vertical on an 18m pole. Most chasers I logged were OMs from DL, I, SP and PA.

It was great fun meeting fellow WWFF enthusiasts in person and of course all the usual suspects over the radio.
