Yesterday afternoon, me and my friend Andrea ended up choosing for Mt Resegone alias Mt Serrada I/LO-177. we reached the forcella di Olino by car at 17:00 utc and we started to walk quickly along D.O.L. path. after about 30min we decided to get out the headlamps. The last 200 meters, we walked in a trick fog. reached the rifugio Azzoni, we changed clothes and climbed up the last step. I installed 10mt wire on 4.5mt telescopic pole. I started to call in 80cw, the noise was quiet. I managed in the log F5JKK, IK6BAK, IK2LEY and DJ5AV with nice signal 579. Many thanks guys, you allowed me to activate the summit on this hard band. I tried to work on 60 and 40mt but the noise was too high. I changed transformer and I tried on 20ssb but the conditions was poor, after some calIs, I Qsy in 20cw, I worked Martino IU2IJW and Luca IW2OGY and some European chasers.
when it began to rain I passed in QRT.
Many thanks chasers!!
