Yes we can go. I’m planning to go to La Bresse for 5 nights. My rough plan is to activate:
On my way to La Bresse LX/LX-001 which is also LXFF-0002.
Then the first day 25/6:
FL/VO-088 FL/VO-030 FL/VO-009
Second day 26/6:
FL/VO-011 FL/VO-173 FL/VO-002 FL/VO-015
Third day 27/6:
FL/VO-010 FL/VO-177 maybe FL/VO-168 FL/VO-006
Fourth day 28/6:
FL/VO-012 FL/VO-176 FL/VO-177
On the way back home 29/6:
FL/VO-023 FL/VO-090 FL/VO-092
Of course everything depends on traffic, weather and other general conditions. So this planning can change.
I will use KX3, home-made EFHW 40/30/20, with 10 meter mast and only CW.
Hope to work you.
When I read about La Bresse, I remembered the Muddy Run (A trail run with obstacles and some strange people taking part - including me ). I have taken part in it twice. A beautiful area.
Wish you much success and fun with the activations. Maybe we will hear us in a qso
That’s an impressive list. You must be fit! I hope you have good weather. I might be on G/DC-001 on 27/6 and will look for your spot. QRS please as I’m a CW beginner.
I was also at the campsite in La Bresse for 7 days in my early SOTA days (sept/oct 2018) and activated 20 summits in that time. … and since then I have been active there for days at a time.
It would be nice to reach these summits as a chaser now. Then I will keep an eye on your alerts and hope to get some complets.
I hope the weather is good and you have a nice time.
Lovely job Tonnie… back home now as G4OBK for two weeks, Tennamast already extended to full height in rediness, so I will hear you and see you in my log again! Always a pleasure… TNX for the heads up!
Yes…. 4 summits a day …Sota is not just gaining points … can you really appreciate the climbing and the nice moments of this beautyfull mountains ???
I do hope….
I don’t live far from the Vosges and have already done a few hikes here… Long before I came back to amateur radio through SOTA. I had hiked many summits without a radio.
But especially through SOTA I have seen beautiful places that I might never have come to otherwise. Also in the Vosges.
Especially when the landscape and the trail are beautiful, the activation sometimes is a minor matter.
Today I activated LX/LX-001, also LXFF-0002.
It was a vy good activation. I made 65 QSO’s in about one hour. Best DX was KD1CT.
17 mtrs : 7 qso’s
30 mtrs : 32 qso’s
40 mtrs : 26 qso’s
Tnx all chasers.
Today I activated three summits.
Total QSO’s 112. Amazing what a lot of chasers today. That’s the reason I only activated three summits.
Also some S2S. Worked 40/30/20/17 meters.
). I have taken part in it twice. A beautiful area.
I hope you have good weather. I might be on G/DC-001 on 27/6 and will look for your spot. QRS please as I’m a CW beginner.
