Hi Roman

Thanks for your reports, these summits here are also on my to-do-list in the beautiful SOTA region OE/VB.

We’ve not yet met on the bands so far, since you are on CW and me exclusively on SSB, and I’m too far away for 2 m.

Thanks Markus for the feedback! Yes, there is a lot “to do” in OE/VB and Freschenhaus was a good base camp for those summits. I could have stayed there for a week but had to stick to the family schedule :wink:
It would be nice to meet on the air or for an eyeball- QSO in Friedrichshafen (?)
