Dear chasers,
My activation of Alp Sigel HB/AI-006 on Oct-25 suffered from extreme wind (called Föhn). All activators who have been up there know how exposed this summit is. Contrary to my alert I only operated a very short time on 21 MHz. I did not dare to open my ATS-3B and exchange the band module. I feared it might be blown away during the manipulation. Only the massive fencing posts on top of the precipice made it possible to mount my 6m mast. Looking forward to returning there under regular WX conditions and then operate on different bands. Thank you for your understanding.
73, Markus HB9BRJ
