Vic), John, VK3FJSN, (Hamilton side of Casterton, Vic.) John, VK3FJET, (Portland).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was also great to see Millicent Member Gilbert, VK5FGIL, as we rarely catch up with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tom, VK5EE, set up his portable station and a few contacts were made on 40 metres much to the interest of all present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John, VK3FJET, had a problem with his two metre rig in the car. It appeared to be stone deaf. A number of Club Members had a crack at finding the problem until Tom, VK5EE, suddenly realised that it was the power supply for John&#8217;s reversing camera that was obliterating all signals. He unplugged it from the cigarette lighter and the problem disappeared. Well done Tom,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few pictures from the very enjoyable day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/serg.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Most-of-the-assembled-multitude.-jpg-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2079\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/serg.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Most-of-the-assembled-multitude.-jpg.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/serg.org.au\/?attachment_id=2079\" class=\"wp-image-2079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/serg.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Most-of-the-assembled-multitude.-jpg-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/serg.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Most-of-the-assembled-multitude.-jpg-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/serg.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Most-of-the-assembled-multitude.-jpg-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/serg.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Most-of-the-assembled-multitude.-jpg.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\"><strong>The small, but quality, field<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/serg.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/All-fed.-Now-for-the-tall-tales-and-true.--1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2080\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/serg.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/All-fed.-Now-for-the-tall-tales-and-true.-.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/serg.org.au\/?attachment_id=2080\" class=\"wp-image-2080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/serg.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/All-fed.-Now-for-the-tall-tales-and-true.--1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/serg.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/All-fed.-Now-for-the-tall-tales-and-true.--300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/serg.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/All-fed.-Now-for-the-tall-tales-and-true.--768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/serg.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/All-fed.-Now-for-the-tall-tales-and-true.-.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\"><strong>All fed.
