As a change from the normal bayside locations, today's activity was from Central Reserve, Glen Waverley.  A fence around a sports oval was used for the counterpoise. 

This video features the first use of a new RF portable tester (combination power meter, wavemeter, field strength meter, signal generator, modulation monitor, AM receiver and more) and audio tests from VK3YXC at Little River.  The RF Portatest is described in  September 2012 Amateur Radio magazine.
