hi friends,
i will say thank you to all chasers ! today i finished my activation on DM/BW-079
"Ellbachkopf" with 109 qso´s in my log . and that with low power on hf only. no real qrp , but only 10watts on cw and abt. 15watts on ssb with my homebrew rig. i think the speech-compressor in it , is very usefull. i never heared my signal , but most mod-reports are ok ! antenna today again the 2 x 18.5m sym. dipol with z-match and feedpoint only in abt. 6m . started todays activation after qrl, because this summit is not far away from my working-place. at 1400utc i began with a “qrl?” on 7032-cw and roy ´ssh came back to my call with nice sigs. and then the “zoo” started,hi. after the first 30 minutes i logged 41 stations and to come down a bit, i started with cq qrs . and i think , compared to other activations , many qrs stations comes back to my slow calls. at 1444 i had 55 chasers in my log.

then i qsy´ed to 7096 as spotted to do the ssb-part , but on that qrg big sigs
from other stations. so i moved a bit up and call cq. OE3KAB was the first and followed from the regulars GW0VMZ,2E0HJD,F8BBL es much other nice ssb-chasers. but ssb in the afternoon , evening hours is very difficult due to qrm. but all in all 17 ssb´ers in 14 minutes…

after that i qsy´ed to 3558khc-cw, a new regular band from me witl allmost good sigs from HB9. but also had a few callers from G ! on 80m i work mostly with only 5 watt real qrp, think antenna working there UFB. and 19 qso in the 16mins on this band.

and after 80m i going back to 40m 7032 to make the last calls , like most activations from me. first one was G3VQO with good sigs and followed by 16 chasers from 1527 to 1546utc. G4CPA was the last one in the log. so today was my first activation with 100+ qso´s . and that makes me happy,hi . my luck today, temperatures are ok with no wind.

but what will activators do in winter with -0C° or colder ? chasers can help with short qso´s with only callsign es rapport. ragchewing we can do again in summer most times i have time to say hello or more, but in comming winter i will do more contest-style in my activations. but thats no problem with qrs, the also a qrs-qso can be fast with only call es rprt . i don´t want to reduce my sota to only 1 band or cw-only, to give all chasers the same chance to work me on the summits. but more bands and modes = more activation time …
by the way. since my first activation at 27.Feb on Mooswaldkopf to now i activated 289 summits and done 7813qso´s on hf and meet many new friends all over europe, and thats fine :o)
for all who wonder about the many activations :
i reduced my hamradio-hobby to sota-only since a few months. i have enough fun with it, and not many time for other things in hamradio. uuhhhh, i need only abt. 100 points to get my shack-slot status. i hope this year i reach it. but chances to get s2s in winter is not so big. also my other new hobby is searching geocaches with my yl ( want´s also a bit from me ) . marathon is ending for me now, due to problems with my knees after abt. 20km/30km of running, so only hobby-running anymore. but i like it more to run for my self as against the clock. so i can better enjoy the nature on my trips in black-forest
so again thank you for that nice activation today and hope cuagn on the summits,
Klaus DF2GN/P
