Lake George (Collector)

Lake George is an excellent inland soaring site. The collector launch is at the northern end of the ridge. If the conditions are a little more thermic this launch is a bit better than Geary's Gap as you have more height.

Weather station: Triggered by 3 short transmissions from a UHF radio on Channel 19. Each transmission should be about 1 second. To minimise unwanted transmissions some safeguards have been incorporated into the system. If you fail to trigger it wait at least 10 seconds before trying again. The information is available via mobile phone on 0447 691 805.
