Yesterday, 29 April 2025, I tried to activate the Mauzenberg (DM/BW-385). A very nice path with beautiful views to the north leads from Bernbach to the summit. Unfortunately, the forestry office is currently felling trees there and so the Mauzenberg itself (at least the summit) was not accessible. It is possible to reach the activation zone from the west, but there is deep forest there and it was almost impossible to lay out 5 metre long radials and it was also difficult to find a place where the telescopic antenna would not immediately come into contact with branches. That’s why I only made 4 QSOs (and it took me almost an hour…). Sorry if chasers were waiting…
