21 September 2012: 16:20 – 16:38UTC
Temperature around 20C and very windy on the top.
12 CW QSO on 7033.6 kHz
I called for a long time on 10118 kHz but not a single answer. Later I checked against the RBN database which confirmed my signal was heard by several RBN-stations but just no SOTA chaser was QRV.
Statistics provided by Watt’s Up Meter:
13.34V / 0.363A during RX of the K2
0.388Ah which I used for 12 QSO @ 10W
13.07Vm – Voltage minimum
42.7Wp – Watt Peak
3.26Ap – Ampère Peak
Car park: 47.44557 N / 8.03603 E, 725m
Hiking statistics – uphill only:
Time: 15min
Distance: 1.1km
Total Ascend: 123m
Total Descend: 0m

- View from the car park. Wasserflue (HB/AG-002 – now deleted) can be seen with the big tower on the top. With 20C nice and warm but a strong wind from West brought rain 3h later.
-
- There is enough space to antennas on the top of Strihen.
-
- This hiking sign claims Strihen is the tallest mountain in Canton Aargau. Somehow Stierenberg (HB/AG-001) is with 872m even taller …
-
- My new Zippy LiPO on hill #4 and the bridge rectifier brings the voltage below the 15V limit of the K2.
-
- Yep, iPhone tells the same story. I am on Strihen 🙂

- City of Aarau in the foreground and the Bernese Alps 100km away in the background.
