My annual contribution to the wwff program in 2025 was wholly on the chaser side of the ledger. I was unable to get into the field for an activation. I still hold a desire to get out into the bush, set up my station and call CQ. My wife Jenny and I have made some excursions to some local parks: to check out suitable locations. I need level ground and smooth surfaces – not always available in parks. The very hot summer has been a bit off-putting!

I also disposed of my Mazda 2. Getting in and out of the vehicle was just too hard. Mr P remains a constant and unwelcome companion
