Today the Hohwildsberg DM/BW-766 was to be activated. From the Lipple car park I got on my bike towards the summit.

Here you can see the summit from the path.

On the way to the summit I could see over the fog cover and enjoy the view.

At the Summit. Directly in the forest.

At the top the antenna wire was stretched and 40m SSB started. Many known SOTA friends came into the log - thanks! A short change to 2m to reach Roman @DL3TU - unfortunately it didn’t work :frowning: Then I continued on 20m CW.

Meanwhile I heard someone in the background. He was coming towards me. A hiker? I recognised him right away - from the profile photo in the Reflector :slight_smile: It was Armin @DL6GCA who spontaneously visited me at the Summit.

We had a nice chat with a “Hopfentee” :wink: :beers: and presented our equipment. Armin had his QCX and accessories with him. Super compact and very light. Then it got dark and we walked back to the car park together.

A nice activation up there. The weather was fresh and foggy towards the end. And a nice surprise with the visit. Thanks Armin @DL6GCA and many thanks to all the chasers who worked me! :+1: :wave:

Thanks for trying, Marcel :+1:
It would have been nice to have a QSO across a distance of 130 km, but later - by looking at the map - I learned that at least Feldberg was in the way. So no luck this time on 2m FM.
Looking forward to our next QSO :wave: :beers:

73, Roman

Marcel and I have so often had a qso… but had never met in person.
When I read yesterday afternoon that he wanted to be active on DM/BW-766 in an hour, the decision was quickly made.
I shut down my office PC, went home to get warm and grabbed my QCX.
On the way, I kept thinking, I hope he’s still up there. :sweat_smile:
When I saw him on the summit an hour later, he (unfortunately) recognised me immediately. Otherwise I would have played the evil forester. :wink:

Surprisingly, Marcel had two beers with him… Too bad for the rest of the chasers!
