Make a note of the date

Sunday March 10^th 2019 10:00 am – 4:00 pm local time (6 hours).

The object is to make as many contacts as possible from ferries or wharves. An Opal card will permit the entire day’s travel on any mode of public transport for only $2.60.

Operation is restricted to VHF and UHF bands, any mode, simplex or through repeater using hand-held transceivers.

The scoring system encourages operators to visit as many wharves and travel on as many ferries as possible in a six-hour period. Points are claimed per location/contact rather than distance and with no advantage for high power or digital modes, all classes of licensees including Foundation, can compete equally.

There are a number of awards for achieving goals such as Worked All Ferries, as well as scoring the highest number of points.
