Hello ,
TO all station who I worked this afternoon around 1400-1445z when I spotted and gave reference FL/NO-120 IN ERROR!
My summit was FL/NO-112 near the town of Feucherolles… NOT FL/NO-120.
I made use of a stationary farm trailer on the summit to support my 5m pole. The antenna was an OCFD cut for 40m.
Thanks to chasers for QSOs earlier from.FL/NO-095. This reference is 100% correct!

Hi Phil,
Thank you for your information.
BTW:
Nice SOTA car 
Congratulations 
73, Jarek
FB Jarek,
Really pleased to work you on 20m today amongst the regulars!
I will reappear I think next Friday, 11th July on 3 summits in the FL/VL region, before going to the F/MC region on Saturday 12th July.
73 Phil
That seems rather excessive taking a farm trailer all that way to support a 5m pole…
Hello Phil
Thank you for the two completes… you have other summits on your list that interest me.
I hope to catch up with you then… I’ll be traveling in northern Germany.
Have a nice trip - Armin
Fabulous Armin! Like you I appreciate making a SOTA Complete. For us Activator/Chasers it really enhanced the SOTA Scheme when it was introduced some years ago.

Hi Dave with grass growing well around the tow bar and wheels it hadn’t moved for weeks, so I felt it deserved to be put to good use. FL/NO-112 is adjacent to a French defence SIGINT station from the look of it. There were satellite dishes, radomes, HF wire antennas and a massive HF Log Periodic Array adjacent to a main road and within the activation zone.
73 Phil
Thank you Phil for giving me a chance.
Your copy on 30m was better but suddenly disappeared so, it was fine to have another try possibility.
73, Jarek
Hi Jarek, Armin, et al,
My next opportunity for activations is Friday 11th July. It may interest other ops looking for completes (Such as @ON6ZQ and @HB9BIN and others) as the three summits I will go are a cluster of three easy to access summits in the FL/VL area which are rarely activated. I will be solo without XYL (Judy going horse riding) so I can spend a little longer operating on 20/30/40m to get the benefit of differing propagation. The next day we go to the F/MC area for a few more days with some SOTA before heading back north.
73 Phil F/G4OBK/P
Sorry can’t find you Phil @G4OBK on jun 29 on your DL/P from my FL/NO-079 summit (you know this one)
Thank you Phil
Office day for me, I wish others to get successful QSOs.
I will watch future alerts.
73, Jarek
Hi Phil
I’ll be activating somewhere in the Yorkshire Dales on Friday. Hope to catch u on CW.
Hi Eric
The sky was broken between north west France and England Eric!
Yes, I remember the unique statue very well on your summit FL/NO-079 from our Gite holiday in Brittany three years ago.

I had a early start today on Puy de Corent F/MC-181. It was beautiful and I disturbed a fair sized head of small deer on the summit - which they vacated on my arrival! It took me half an hour to make my first QSO with ZL4TT on 20m, then 30 minutes more to qualify the sumit with a QSO with DL5RDT (After OK2BEI and OK2PDT). The G station worked, and the only caller on SSB was Robert M0RWX who I usually work when he is activating! All told this was slow SOTA as it took me an 90 minutes to make 10 QSOs, due to having such an early start.
I’ve had breakfast back at thE hotel. I’m now looking at SOTLAS to see where to go now, this morning. Rain is forecast for the afternoon around 1500 local time and there are road closures around here (Clermont-Ferrand) as the Tour de France Stage 10 is passing through the Massif Central area, on the 1st real summit day of this years tour. Tomorrow I will activate the Puy de Dom F/MC-027 in this beautiful area.
73 Phil F/G4OBK/P
F/MC-189 alerted for 0930Z.
73 Phil
I was about to leave for South Wales to activate GW/SW-002, GW/SW-041 and GW/SW-004 when I saw your spot. Glad I could return the favour!
Yes, Many thanks Robert. I was struggling for contacts that morning at the early hour and all callers were very welcome!
Doing my last two summits on this trip near Paris tomorrow morning - FL/NO-120 and FL/NO-102.
73 Phil
Lovely picture Robert, but not sure where it is from - the Dragon’'s back (we always come up from the north).?? I felt exhausted when I read your list of summits. That’s 3 days hard work for us but we got rather tired going up Burrow G/WB-014 yesterday, in hotter sunshine than we’d expected, so it was either the heat or we have slowed down a (large) bit! 
Viki
Couldn’t hear you very well yesterday Viki - not enough for a QSO unfortunately. I could just about tell it was you calling on .500 having seen Rod’s spot, but then nothing on .475… strange as I spoke to you on Burrow last year around this time of year. 70cm was also devoid of your voice. On the other hand @MW0PDV was booming in from GW/NW-007.
I was on the way back from GW/SW-004 Waun Rydd, the last one of the day around Craig Fan Las walking in the direction of Blaen-y-glyn CP with the waterfall at the start.
As I got closer the sky turned and I was greeted by this, convinced the pot of gold was where I parked.
Only my car left, but no pot of gold… 
Thanks for the support both on Monday!
