With temperature 30+ C it was too hot to work in the office and therefore I escaped to the SOTA hills. This time I activated DM/BW-293 and DM/BW-017.

- Start at the car park and walk zig-zag up the hill. The last bit is through a “grassy” path; see next picture.
-
- Firstly follow the nicely prepared walking way and for the last bit turn right climb up this path.
-
- Several landmarks can be seen on the climb.
-
- and on the top I used one landmark as my antenna support.
-
- This is another picture from the top. What you can’t see are the many gadflies …
