VK3YE's GREAT "QRP by the Bay" Event

Last weekend Homebrew Hero Peter Parker VK3YE hosted another of his amazing twice-yearly QRP events.  It was at a park near the iconic Chelsea Pier in Melbourne.   Peter Marks VK2TPM sent a very nice write-up with pictures:

 And a nice audio report:

 Peter Marks reports that most of the on-the-air activity was on the 120 foot ham band (40 meters for you modernists).  Many BITX40's were on display.

    Nice! 120 foot band! I like it! Now if we can get metres instead of meters? They're entirely different beasts :( . I know, your spell-checks show an error, but that's US-centric software, Yank-glish, and and the Internet in general for you.
    Really makes me wish I could (afford to) GOTA!
