Jeff Johnson - VK4XJJ completed his second walk across Australia on Sunday 2nd October 2011.
This walk from east to west commenced on April 24th and was twice as long as the first walk. It was 100% for the benefit of the NETS (what is NETS?)

Jeff was operating a Yaesu FT-817nd on 40mx & 80mx into either a loaded whip on the support vehicle or a 1/2 wave dipole which he strings up between a couple of trees every evening. He also operated from the support vehicle's Codan HF radio on the 20 metre amateur band. The Gympie Communications and Electronics Group provided the daily Amateur Radio support and QSL card management (cards were sent via the WIA bureau).
