today i activated schoberstein (oe/oo-073) and found a nice place to build up my antenna. but during the activation suddenly about 20 cows were very, very interested in my antenna … so i had to quickly seek shelter because i feared they would break my antenna. that’s why i disappeared so quickly off the air at 0929utc … some photos of my activation are on
In reply to OE5REO:
Yes cows are very curious.
I see you use a Buddipole, are they standard telescopic elements or the extend ones.
Thanks
Steve

i used the standard ones for a while, but then bought the extended version … now it’s much easier to get a good swr on 7mhz.

Yes they looked longer, I cheat and use a tuner… 
Thanks

Hello Martin,
I hope you still have an antenna. Remind me to work you S2S sometime using our SSEG alternative callsign M0O.

Fantastic website Martin, & a very good photo of the cows HI!
You have some very nice scenery around Austria & I look forward to working you very soon. I am mainly active on the lower HF bands, but I do like 10m & 6m when they are open, which they have been recently
