Yes, agreed ;-). But at an avalanche warning level of 2 / 3 or poor visibility going solo is not the wisest of options. See also my argument at Fast & Short Activation Strategy? - #40 by DK3IT.
It is unavoidable to compromise on the number of QSOs and leave some chasers disappointed when you activate in winter or from more alpine summits. I am sure when @HB9DQM and @HB9FVF activated HB/VS-006, there were quite some chasers whom they could not work ;-).
Anyway, will try to extend my stays and add a few more relaxed activations in the future ;-).
