Hi Guys!
my daughter woke me up at 1:30 utc, after one hour she and my XL returned to sleep. I had lost sleep. I decided to activate a summit near my qth. I started from the parking with use of headlamp and I walked to Pian Sciresa,

I realized that I should have made a lighter rucksack, I put in my rucksack the reflex with heavy lens. I decided to use it for shotting some pics along the ridge.

Roberto,

I was excited to get you in the log. I was thinking that it was an odd hour for you to be up there. :wink:

Hi Scott, I was incredulous when I hear your call. I never managed a qso with United States in that time.

Thanks at All
