Advanced Notice of VPFF activations from mid May to mid June 2022.

A recent activation of VPFF-8112, East Bay, FD98XB by Bobby VP8ADR/P proved very successful.

Further activations are planned of the following:

VPFF-8135 Volunteer and Cow Bay
VPFF-8132 The Narrows
VPFF-8105 Bertha's Beach

VPFF-8130 Stanley Common and Cape Pembroke Peninsula including Cape Pembroke Lighthouse.
Completed 25th May 2022 with 60 QSOs logged, all on FT8/4 modes across 4 bands. No stations heard/worked on SSB despite calling on various bands.

The above is in no particular order and as much advance notice as possible will be given with dates/times and the VPFF/M/P information.

The WX is the deciding factor for all portable working and access may not be possible to some of the planned VPFF locations.

73, Dave.
