Congrats also from my side, Luc! It was great to meet you again at the SOTA dinner and not only hear but also feel you inspiration. Keep that going, it’s a good medicine. Thanks also for many contacts from here and there. Enjoy!
The 2ng MG was actually not catched as planned … it came sooner than expected !
It’s a whole story …
I had planned two summits on Sunday (DL/AL-273 and DL/AL-148), but on Saturday evening my car told me that the pressure in one of my tyres was way too low. It seemed there was a screw in the tyre that doesn’t belong there …
So on Sunday morning I had to wait until a man from ADAC came by and swiftly repaired the tyre … but it was already nearing noon, and I cancelled the trip.
Temperatures of over 30 degrees were predicted, so I went to well know drive-up Gehrenberg DM/BW-348 instead. But hey, those planned summits were only 2 + 1 points, so no MG yet.
But Gehrenberg is 8 points, and this brought me over the limit unexpectedly.
This was my cosy shack under the trees. I had 30 QSO’s in 2 hours and 11 minutes, and had an amazing 15 S2S contacts ! (thanks Ham2K Polo for the stats)
The only witness of my activation was Yannick @DO9YAN, who came to the Gehrenberg to do a 2m activation with an FT-70 and an Anjo logperiodic antenna. Some other mountainbikers stopped by and scanned my QR code, they may become hams someday
I only got back home yesterday, I’ll make a full report on my blog as usual … but have some patience, the xyl had prepared a whole list of chores for me … speaking of a warm welcome , hi.
