As usual, it’s been in an out of the shack today whilst cooking the Xmas Dinner (about to be served by me),
walking the three dogs - one is ours - two belong to other family members who are away.
Oh yes, also untangling my top band antenna from my HF antennae which had tangled itself during yesterdays strong winds.
Thanks to @LA9XGA@S52CA@HB9CYV@HB9BAB@YU1CA@DL3TU for coming on HF CW/SSB and being workable today from my station. I also worked M7DQO/P from a Bunker AZ somewhere south of me…
Well I did make it up Black mount GM/SS-158 today. It was sunny on the way up but cloud came in when I got to the top. The trig point is still waisting away as Andy’s picture shows. I just got setup in time to catch Alan MM0VPM on GM/SS-094 and Mike MM7MWL on GM/SS-187 for s2s, then another run on 2m. I had a scheduled qso with Paul 2M0OON on 40m but it was difficult and noisy, so I must apologise to chasers who might have been waiting for that band. I had a listen on 15m and it was less noisy, a spot brought in another couple of s2s and a dozen qso’s in all. Furthest east was Stavros SV2RUJ ON SV/TL-069 and furthest on the day was Richard N4EX in North Carolina.
It was cold up there today and of course the cloud cleared as I packed up and headed back down the hill !
