Proposed – 121112016 KRMNPA Weekend
Keith Roget Memorial National Park Award activation Weekend 2016 – 11th to 14th November.
The annual KRMNPA activation weekend is designed to encourage portable activities in Victoria’s 45 National Parks.
Track my progress over weekend on APRS – VK3ARH-1
Overview
This weekend will see at least 41 Parks (as of November 5th) of Victoria’s National parks available for contacts.
Each park qualifies for VKFF and WWFF.
Proposed
I intend to activate four in the states east;
All in EG3 – East Gippsland Shire Council.
The goal is to activate the parks so any SOTA Summits will come down to conditions;
- Lind NP: No summits
- Alfred NP: Granite Peak VK3/VG-137
- Croajingalong NP: VK3/VG-151 Mt Everard
