To build up my activator score I planned another SOTA hopping day: DM/BW-846 -> 064 -> 052 -> 147 -> 046 -> 042 -> 038 -> 228. I left home at 05:30 local time and drove to DM/BW-864 and worked my way back towards HB9. All QSO were done on the 30m band and I went QRT as soon the pile-up ceased and went to the next hill.
