We decided to participate from OK/JC-010 together with Karel OK4DX. The summit is easy to reach and has a tourist sitting, unfortunately without any roofing. The WX was bad. Windy with snow/rain showers, the temperature slightly above zero.
Our shack with the tarp (Karel OK4DX):
Inside of the shack:
Equipment: FT-857 @100W out, LiFePo accu 22Ah, antenna “fan” inverted V for 20m/15m at 6m mast
Antenna:
We shared the radio with Karel and we both made sucessfully ZL VK activators and chasers. No JA stations worked at 20m, we heard some JA’s at 15m band, but unfortunately our 15m band antenna had too high SWR, I think due to the rain.
Afternoon, after warming up (or defrosting, HI) at lunch in a restaurant, we activated another nearby summit OK/JC-024. On the top of this summit is nice look out tower and also nice seating.
The conditions to ZL VK were away of course, but AB4PP called me. It was nice finish of the day for us.
Thanks to all and cu next time!
73, Pavel OK1MCS and Karel OK4DX
