I know, it’s a very ambitious plan. But I’ll try if it works. If it doesn’t work, I’ll remove the alert for that day. I will use KX3 - QRP - CW and HyEndFed. 40 and 20 meter will be the main bands. I hope the HF conditions are in my favor :slight_smile:

I hope to work you.

It’s DM not GM :wink:

Some really lovely summits but many are not really demanding with ascent. DM/RP-470 is 45m ascent and 600m of walking. Not quite in Eiger territory :slight_smile:

Still 5 activations a day would exhaust my patience setting up and taking down so many times.

I hope the WX is good for you Tonnie.

Here is a small report from the past few days. Firstly, at 29 degrees, it is actually too hot. Furthermore, with an electric car it is sometimes very time-consuming to find a loading area and then charge it. That takes (too) much time per day. Furthermore, on top of the summits, so far, there are no beautiful views. Just tall trees. And on the paths there is occasionally tall grass, where the likelihood of tick bites is high. Conditions on the bands are very variable. In short, the first days were not really great. So my planning was to optimistic :innocent:
This morning, however, at DM/RP-494, Wegelnburg, a beautiful path up. Long and stylish. Arrived there at the castle a magnificent view. Finally a nice reward.

After a long time editting it’s finally ready. This time only music on the first summit. The rest is only CW calls. Have fun.
