Going portable: Long Reef [Sydney]

The Long Reef is only 15 minutes drive from my QTH. Great spot for SWLing - quiet, elevated location.

The 140m Beverage antenna is set on the very tip of the reef.

Equipment: Perseus, laptop, car battery, coax, wire, earth rod, more wire, rope, a folding chair, rain coat, flash light, water, tools - total of nearly 30kg of gear!

Carting it all up the hill is bit of a challenge, but it's worth it - the reception is just magnificent.
