Last weekend me, XYL and my son combined our hobies: hiking, geocaching, SOTA, YO Flora&Fauna and had a great time in Piatra Mare (Great Stone) Mountain.
We started our hike on Friday after driving 5-6 hours early morning.
The donkeys are owned by YO6HSH who is the owner of “Piatra Mare” Chalet. We saw them on our descent, carrying supplies to the Chalet.
If I didn’t had to drive over 200km for any summit maybe it was a good idea to have a goat/donkey carry the gear That way I could operate with more than 5-10W on a fishpole antenna (Not that I have any other transceiver/linear capable of more power, hi)
Also it seems that my last activations were 5-6 hours drive + 5-6 hours hike, usually over 1000m altitude difference.
Hi Petronel, well we know a person who travels with their goats so I suppose it depends if your car will fit a goat or two! 10w to my ears works well. Anyway thanks very much for the FF and SOTA activations.
Cheers
Mike
