Hi Eric
This activation was funny for me for several reasons:
- A really funny summit name. Investigated for it, answers still missing.
- A strong and cold wind from the South on the top.
- Using a Swiss callsign from a French summit
- Not being able to provide a Swiss canton for the HB15SOTA award.
- The special callsign restricted to the use on the Swiss territory only, contrary to a club station call.
- … and being mentioned for nice sigs on a band that my antenna is not made for, hi. Tnx!
Indeed, one of my last QSO partners of that day insisted that my procedure (Swiss callsign from a French summit) was not correct according to the SOTA rules. I could clarify this but he judged then the rule to be bad, hi.
Just started another investigation with our admission authority what is considered the place of transmission and triggers the callsign, as there are several possibilities: position of the operator, position of the transmitting device, position of the foot of the antenna mast, used air space by the antenna wire. If they don’t reply they may have thought that my question was a joke, what is also an answer, hi.
Main thing and most important: I enjoyed Le Meix Musy and all the fun it could create! This to close the loop since I was a bit off topic … ehm: bordering.
