35 CW QSO on 7’031 kHz
14 CW QSO on 10’118 kHz
Temperature: 15C
I had a real struggle to get this activation going. I CQ-ed for a long time on 40m, then on 30m until SP9DLY called with a nice 599 signal. Back on 40m the same with DL7VKD and again a nice signal. Fortunately there was nothing wrong with my setup 🙂 and in the end I logged 49 QSO in roughly 1 hour on the air.
Car park: 51.646675 N / 2.848058 W
KAT2 readings:
7’032 kHz: L = 6.8 uH / C = 50 pF / SWR = 1.0 : 1
10’118 kHz: L = 2.6 uH / C = 200 pF / SWR = 1.2 : 1

- I saved this SOTA for a rainy day but there was none left 🙂 The biggest challenge was to errect the 10m pole between all these branches.

- A few 100m further up the road towards the summit this microwave station can be found.

- …more trees …
-
- A whole area direction Bristol Channel was freed up; at least little view from GW/SW-033 Wentwood.
