Hello everyone, today for this 24th activation of 2021 with Luca Iz0Fyl we have decided to activate a new one on Monte Filone, a peak of the Monte Navegna park, about an hour’s drive from Rome. Once we reached the goal with the car we walked about an hour and a half to reach the top and the weather was almost spring, warm and start of the activation in t-shirt. After the first QSOs the weather changed quickly, we found ourselves in a low cloud and we had to wear all the clothes we had available. We activated two stations, one with a random wire antenna stretched between a tree and a 9: 1 balun with RTX Yaesy Ft-817 and the second with Elecraft K2 with a vertical antenna on a fishing rod. Overall excellent activation over 25 qso in total and an S2S in 7 mhz SSB with a station in northern Italy. From the top of the mountain there was also a splendid view of the Turano lake as you can see in the photos.
Regards, Andrea IW0HK
