Laurent,
I build this antenna. EFHW – PeanutPower It’s build with SOTABEAMS traps.
Sometimes I use a HyEndFed 40/20/10. But with the EFHW 40/30/20 you don’t have to change the antenna. I love it, because it’s easy setup and has 3 bands. With the 30 meter band, my favorite band.
With the KX3 tuner it’s also usable on 60 meters.
Paul,
I will try some 60 meters. So let’s hope we work.
Not sure about the “44” Tonnie the F&F crowd seem to create more QRM! Joking apart, I always look forward to your tours and of course, watching the video afterwards. I am around for most of the days on your tour as we are minding two more dogs in our home while the family are in Wales, so I hope to be calling you on most summits! Here’s hoping it all goes to plan for you OM, what a great lead up to Xmas…

Phil,
Thanks for the reply. It’s always easy to pick out your call in a pile-up.
Making the video after the activation reminds me of the beautiful time in the mountains and of course all contacts.
I only do one FLora and Fauna in DL. Because the Sota is in that park. So that way I have double fun…. 
My main interest is SOTA.

Thank you for the info. Might try the antenna…
Enjoy your stay in DL!
Hi Tonnie,
Thinks for the link, I will have a look on it and may be built it for comparison with the antenna I use since about 3 years :
I had discovered this antenna by an join activation with Matt, OE6FEG when I stayed in Austria for the job. It is effective more simple to mount it than a dipole (thanks Matt).
Enjoy your trip.

I have also built this 40/30/20 EFHW using traps and a wideband transformer. Some of the section lengths need adjusting though, as I originally tuned it up too close to my house.

Today was a foggy day with about 5 degrees. First I activated DM/NW-134 and made 30 QSO’S. I had a huge pile-up. I will edit it in my video afterwards when I will be back home.
After that I activated DM/NW-003 (DLFF-0112) and I made 45 QSO’s in 1 hour. And made 5 QSO”s on 60 meter.
Thanks all chasers. Cu tomorrow. I wil try to activate 4 summits.

Today was again a foggy day with a temp about 3 degrees.
At the first summit I had again a huge pile-up. Just like yesterday.
In total I made 112 QSO’s on the four summits. A lot. In the past years I had some activations with a lot less QSO’s. Maybe the lockdown gave more QSO’s.
At the third summit, with a windmill, I had a vy noisy QRM. And a constant puls at every second. Maybe the powerlines in the ground. So I tried hard to get the 27 QSO’S in the log.
This third summit, DM/NW-184, is a drive-up.
Tomorow I will activate only 3 summits.
Thanks all chasers. CU tomorrow.

Jarek,
Thanks for the S2S. Nice picture from your summit !
73 - Tonnie - PA9CW.
I also hoped to work you when you announced your plans and I’m delighted for having chased you on 5 out of your 6 activated summits.
I’ll be looking for you again tomorrow and the following days except on Tuesday, when I’ll have some other commitments to attend.
Keep up the good work and I wish you very good luck.
73,
Guru
Today, again a foggy and cold day.
The first summit, DM/NW-196, was a difficult one. It took me about one and a half hour to reach the top. The last half hour I had to get off the path. And through a forest, with many branches and tree trunks. Once at the top I made 33 QSO’s.
The second summit, DM/NW-207, is a tower. There I had a huge pile-up with 45 QSO’s.
At the last summit, DM/NW-225, it started to rain harder and harder. So after 16 QSOs and there were no more chasers, I quickly packed.
Thanks all chasers.
Tomorrow I will activate 4 summits.
73 - Tonnie - PA9CW
Well done Tonnie on today’s round - I hear you well on No.4 summit GW/NW-230. Going well - I hope you make your final four summits tomorrow.
73 Phil
Phil,
Thanks for all the calls. Vy strong signals today.
Four summits and 128 QSO’s. That’s really a lot.
It was sunny and about 0 degrees. But no problem when you hike up and down the summits.
At the third summit the only place was in te shadow. And it was vy cold. So I gave only 599 and TU. So everyone had a change to get there points.
The last summit, I arrived to late. So I made a short run. Sorry for that. When I hiked back, I missed a crossing, because it was dark. So I was a bit lost and I was an hour later at the carplace. But I made it save.
Thanks all chasers. Cu tomorrow. I will try to activate 4 summits and then going home.

Last day in DM.
I activated only three summits today.
At the first summit, with a nice tower, and a picnic table. It was vy cold, about -7 degrees. I had a huge pile-up.
The second summit was a long walk. Also vy cold.
The last summit is a strange one. It’s nearby a hospital. You have to drive further for parking by the Spiegelslusturm. And then walk about 800 meters to the “summit”.
Today I made 96 QSO’s on 3 summits. It was to late to go to the last summit. It was already getting dark.
I will post my video when it’s done.
Thanks all chasers.
73 - Tonnie - PA9CW.
Again thanks all chasers. Here is my video. With 7 minutes CW sound from the KX3. Maybe you on it 
73 - Tonnie - PA9CW.
Great job Tonnie on your winter DXpedition. The video in my opinion depicts a really good example of how a competent CW man handles the SOTA pile up. Although as a contester yourself I see you make use of the keyboard for sending.
So if you are reading this and you are learning the code pick up a pencil and see how many callsigns you can pick out of the pile and if you can follow what’s happening and who’s transmitting at the time.
It looks a good area to go to and not too difficult access nice summits with places to sit and to fix your antenna pole to as well.
73 Phil G4OBK
Hello Tonie,
thank you for the really nice and interesting video! I can remember these summits very well. But I could only read single letters of the CW music…
Merry Christmas and hny, 73 Lutz
Hello Tonnie, thanks for your activation video report, it is very good and great to watch. Well done and cheers to you 
All the best for Xmas and a HNY to you and your family.
Regards, Geoff vk3sq
