Today I could activate the newly released summit Westerberg DM / NS-178 first. The approach to the village Sievershäuser Oberdorf was no problem, parking available. Then 600m on a paved forest trail on the western edge and a short climb of 50m altitude east to the summit.
The place is picturesque, many animal tracks in the snow and space for my wire antenna from tree to tree. The condition on 40m was not bad and after 18min I had 24 stations in the log.
There were again many well-known voices, thank you very much at this point. And compliments for the successful selection of the new summit. A short video can be found here: DL1CR SOTA DM/NS-178 - YouTube
