hi all,
home now again
and thanks for the calls at the two activations today.will say sorry to the ssb- and 80m-cw chasers, but i breaked up activation due to the fast coming darkness on the hilltop on which is deep forest. so it is faster ânightâ before the real sunset comes.and i forgotten my lamp, so for safety i breaked up activation after a few calls on 40 and 80m. have only heard the strongest ssb stations, due to the s9++ sigs on 40m in the evening . normaly activation was planned earlier, but first i drive the wrong way, then taken the wrong route to the summit and at last, after the second cq on 40m i needed abt. 60min to work all these station who calling think more stations calling , but have to break up due to darkness and the way down takes longer as normal without daylight.worked today with 3-5watt on cw and 10watt on ssb with my 2x26.5m dipol and a new 8m-mast.
think at saturday i´m again on tour to activate one summit in the lake of constance area and visit HB/SH-001 for my second HB9´er.
Thanks again to the chasers and thanks for the s2s today with, GW0DSP/P ( 2x ) , DJ3AX/P ⌠only heard HB9BAB with 579, but no chance to get trough the pile up. i called abt. 15min, then gived up and worked al DJ3AX/p 2khz up in the first call

p.s. today i try´ed to call a few times /p only. mmhhhhh, i wonder how many stations hear different
Hi Klaus, thanks for the 2 X s2s contacts today, you were FB sigs both times, I was only on FT-817 with 5w and linked dipole in inverted v, had a great day in the office with 43 QSOs and 4 X s2s QSOs in CW. Hope to c u in many more S2S when Mick 2E0HJD is visiting my QTH for a few days in about 3 weeks time.
congratulations on your excellent activation on Oct.3rd!
Fb to hear you from HB9 also now. I`ve never heard such a SOTA-pile-up before! As I wrote on clx it was the same as from a big dx-pedition.
I thought the HB9/DL-border would be very crowded, because of the national-holidays in DL. So I was surprised to hear you then quite early from the deep forest of HB/SH-002. Did you walk from Osterfingen or Neunkirch?
Even with those big pile-ups you (we) need more time on the summits,
especially when you are not a âfour-qso´s per summit-op.â.
I got one expericene without lamp in the deep forest on DM/HE-053âŚ
Since then I got always 2 lamps with meâŚ(and compass, map, etc. hi)
About the s2s-QSOs: with those qrp-sigs its sometimes difficult to hear the wishes of the SOTA-station. So how about a regular frequency for s2s-qso´s only? It could be on 7.022(cw) 7.088 (ssb) +/-qrm always on the hour, for example.
Again many thanks for your activations and vy73
Fritz DL4FDM,HB9CSA
PS. I will be in F and HB9 from 06.10 - 14.10. (with qra) and hope to make one or two summits if the wx is fine.
In reply to DL4FDM:
hi Fritz,
the idea with the s2s-qso´s at full hoursâŚlets think about ! because the âpse /p onlyâ dosen´t work in a pile up if u are qrp.
to my route, i had 1h hour delay to the planned activation and the last spot. spotlite dosen´t work everytime so i gived the qrgs and the abt. activation time beforeâŚsafety is safety,hi.
the real activation starts then at 1600utc. no other than me at the border. the way i drive looks not at a real border,hi. from DM/BW-12 ( Häusern,St.Blasien) you are relativ fast in Waldshut-Tiengen.at the beginning of my sota-tours i planned the routes with my tomtom and a sota-summits file therefore. then take the B314 to direction StĂźhlingen. And before in the city of Eberfingen you drive right over a bridge and trough a small forest and you are in HB9 no real border and i´m the only one who drives on that road,hiâŚonly a few cars with WT on the car . after 4km i was in halau and then in Neunkirch. but you don´t need to walk from neunkirch, there is a small road to dir of the summit.first i planned to go over jestetten,but now i´m happy about takin the other route.At saturday i will activate HB/SH-001 to complette all HB/SH in under one week ;-))) will take also the green border from fĂźtzen to ârandenhofâ . stayed a longer time in blumberg-city , so i know all these small borders to hb9
hätte ich das jetzt lieber in Deutsch geschrieben ? hoffe man kann es so verstehen
