In reply to G4OIG:
4 to 5 hours is a long walk.
Yes Gerald. In F/AM region, if I want to win 8 or 10 points, I must walk long time, so my 5W and 2 slabs are enough.
Have a look at Orange
it needs 4 hours to reach the summit.
And Orange
starting at 1500m, the summit is near 3000m, so it take 5 hours (300m/hour). When I climbed this summit 3 years ago, France was not in SOTA, and I made only 4 QSO… !! (Fritz DL4FDM was in the log…)
I hope to climb it again this year, make a video, and many many QSOs with SOTA friend…
