POTA activation at AU-9854 Boambee Beach, Coffs Coast #amateurradio #hamradio #POTA

Tonight I did my first dusk then dark POTA spot. I was at Boambee Beach AU-9854 on the Coffs Coast.0730 to 0800 UTC on Sunday 31 May 2026. I ended early as I was chased away by lightning. Boambee Beach sits between Coffs Harbour and Sawtell.
