Australia’s famous TARC Monster Xmas Lights Tour is on again, happening Friday evening December 15th.
It’s a Drive Yourself Dazzling Spectacular and all mobile shack chariots will need to monitor 146.5MHz during the tour to hear instructions from the guide (or foxy Santa’s) vehicle.
If you do not have a 2metre transceiver in your vehicle – don’t worry as a
handheld will be lent to you.
Be sure to pack an esky with plenty of cool water and cool bananas as the tour will be happening in a dehydrating climate!
MXLT organiser Gavin VK4ZZ, with help from stage surveyors, is currently

The tour should end by 10pm at a secret destination.
