It was a freezing cold Ballarat weekend - in the middle of normally the hottest month, February. We slept in the old WW2 barracks , formerly a WAGS school . I was on the air with a 122 wireless set in the back of the Fordson WOT2D, I was worried that the airport authorities would close me down. The amateur radio regulations book stated, transmitting on a operational airfield is a big no no . A club member got into strife with a prank on the runway .. a VW beetle , no names will be entered into the log book.
