Looking for the colors of Spring in CT/TM-025

This past Sunday (May, 25th), I took off early in the AM towards Bentozelos, CT/TM-025, one of my favourite locations for a spring activation, hoping to film the usually colourful landscape of blooming gorse, heather and broom plants. It´s a 50/50 walk, in the effort department, with the first 2,5 km an easy walk on a wide dirt road and the remaining a hearty climb, under the sun.

Radio wise, the propagations conditions weren’t that good, with some QRM plaguing most HF bands, but good enough for a little over 30 contacts.

This is the first of what I hope to be a series of videos of some of my activations, production values will hopefully improve as I get more experience with this new field.

Thanks for taking us with you on your walk to CT/TM-025. Really enjoyed the video with a nice combination of scenery and radio activity.

Well done on producing an excellent SOTA video!

I really enjoyed watching your video Paulo. What lovely countryside. Having activated in Portugal some years ago, I would like to get back to do some more summits. Maybe one day.
