Alert posted for 1030z.
DL1CR/p will be on DM/NS-163, DG7ACF/p on DM/NS-129. We will share the same frequency on 50 MHz, probably also on HF.
Hoping for some nice Es qsos.
Sporadic E activity looks already promising.
And - by the way - I have to withdraw my statement from earlier this week.
BNetzA confirmed what Pom had mentioned:
The deployment of a SOTA station on a summit with mast, antenna etc. can be considered ‘temporarily fixed’ (while operating from a car or with a HT is not).
The first S2S worked. Unfortunately we didn’t have any conditions, but Tom, DC5LY could be heard clearly over 60km from his garden. DL1CR First S2S in DL on 6m - YouTube
Thanks for the s2s and the local chaser QSOs!
The band was flat except EI7HBB who popped up for a minute and I was able to work him on a lucky moment.
I used the IC-705 @ 10 W, feeding a delta loop, thanks to the viewtower at 30 m above ground.
The feedpoint looks a bit weird. this is because I forgot a BNC/UHF adaptor at home and had to connect the coax in a rather odd way.
I’m still having my morning cuppa. I definitively want to go out and play today. But with the rucksack not packed yet, at least half an hour drive before the ascent, I won’t be qrv before 1300z. Hw?
