The CQ WPX Contest 2007  SSB

VK6ANC operated in the M2 Section (M2 = Multi operators 2 radios). The radios used were IC-756 PRO II and FT-2000 supplied by Andrew ARA and John HZ. We were joined by Phil VK2BAA  who flew over for the weekend. It was a very successful weekend and was enjoyed by all members who took part.

Operators were ALL VK 2BAA, 6HZ, 6XH, 6TT, 6NU,  6BEC, 6ARA, 6EH.
