Car park #90 in the forest.

Across the road the walk begins …

… and soon to be greated by the locals.

The second summit (1 metre lower) features a “Steinmandli” (a Swiss-German expression for this pile of stones) with the GT-120 GPS datalogger on top.

A small tree was used as base for my 10m DK9SQ pole. GW/SW-016 – Ysgyryd Fawr in the background.

My antenna is a 2x 6.7m Doublet fed by 10m 450 Ohm balanced line.

The insulator at the one end of of the Doublet.
