Thanks Noel and Grahame.

Just to echo your thoughts, I'd also like to thank Bob Peake, Phil Henry, Scott Pepper and Mike Scott for the fantastic presentations they prepared for the day. It really gave the day some solid structure and I'm sure we all came away much more educated about the technology and our hobby in general. I'm really grateful for their attendance also, driving from as far as Canberra and Tamworth to attend. We were also privileged to have Mike Scott dial in from Honolulu via skype to deliver his presentation. Thank you all again!

It was a picture perfect day, albeit slightly hot outside, but there was certainly great aircraft viewing and radar tracking from the top deck of the Novotel Hotel. It was lovely to meet new faces and to learn a little bit more about everyone's interests. We spent all of about 9-10 hours together sharing knowledge, thoughts and experiences with each other whilst certainly setting the foundation for future meet-ups to occur.

Thanks also to all those who attended the workshop, as without you the day wouldn't have been as successful! For those who were unfortunately unable to come at last minute, we certainly look forward to seeing you at the next one.

Here's some photos from the day.

Cheers,
amsy

Hi Kurt

Thanks again for organising a great day. It was wonderful to meet everyone and thanks to Bob, Scott and Phil for their presentations - sorry to miss Mike's but maybe I can catch that one later.

Thanks also for the photos - still sorting through all of mine, but there are a couple in the JP queue, (waiting for the heat haze rejection notice )

Cheers
Mark

We were worried that the people in the adjacent unit might have called ASIO when they spotted all the antennas out on the balcony. Thankfully manage to get through the day without a knock on the door from the AFP.
