A few days ago - just before the Winter came into the Swiss Alps, Carine and I took a cameraman and a reporter from the Swiss Television “Canal 9” with us to a little SOTA-hike to show them how cool it is to combine Mountain-hiking and Amateurradio. Yesterday the report was finally broadcasted on the TV-channel Have fun and vy 73 de René, HB9NBG + 73/88 de Carine, HB9FZC
Hi Richard and thanks very much oh yes, his name fits perfectly The report is produced in native Swiss German - seems not to be easy understandable indeed for English talking people But Carine and I like it very much, and so we didn’t want to keep it from our SOTA friends Good SOTA and vy 73 de René, HB9NBG + 73/88 de Carine, HB9FZC
If it ever is published by Canal 9 onto YouTube, it may be possible to turn on AI-generated subtitles that can then also be auto-translated into other languages. I enjoyed not only what was said but also the friendly and clear way the hobby was presented.
Hi Ed and thanks very much It was a very spontan action; The people from Canal 9 were made aware of us after our little project with our participation to the Marconi VHF CW-Contest in Salvan about 2 weeks before:
They contacted us and asked, whether we could show them how amateurradio works. Carine and I thought, that SOTA is the best way to thrill the TV-viewer about HAM Radio
I don’t know, if they load up their videos to YouTube!? However, I’m really satisfied as well, how the tells the story with the video - also without words
Further Good SOTA and vy 73 de René, HB9NBG + 73/88 de Carine, HB9FZC
Hi Ian and many thanks The topography is very difficult for VHF in Salvan, but for us it was the “coup” to be QRV at that place, where Marconi made the first transmission in history, that counted. However it went not bad
Hi Ricardo, it was very nice to meet you again during the little SOTA-Television-Project Unfortunately the time for the short TV-report was limited, and so we cannot hear you in the video - but the guys had recorded you as well and were thrilled about the big SOTA-activity
Thanks once again for the QSO and hpe cu agn soon…
Have fun and vy 73 de René, HB9NBG + 73/88 de Carine, HB9FZC
