G/DC-001. High Willhays with a lift.

Gorgeous day today, activating High Willhays G/DC-001.

I took some video clips (no photos) for the diary. Beautiful, with a tiny bit of snow left over on the west side, approaching the summit.

Lift conditions were good - furthest contact was 186 miles on 2m FM (probably 4.5w into a flowerpot hoisted up a 3m pole). Managed a contact in Guernsey too.

Of course, the best bit is always S2S contacts - thanks Andrew @M1CJE for hiking up GW/SW-010 today.

I had a listen in-between activating, and chasing Andrew - I could hear overseas conversations on the GB7ER frequency… and the classic DMR engine sound on non-DMR repeater frequencies. Quite an interesting day.

11 QSOs and a cracking day out. The winter bonus points do help - I might not have headed in that direction today if it weren’t for the carrot. :+1:
