Depending on the WX, our local Radio-Club A18 Furtwangen plans to activate several mountains in the Black Forest (DM/BW region) simultaneously on Saturday, July 16th.
From 08:30 UTC our teams will initially operate on 2m / VHF to give our newcomers who only have a handheld radio a chance.
After that, some teams will also be qrv on KW (different bands and modes).
Members of the Radio-Club P12 Tübingen and other radio friends in the region will also support the campaign and activate their local summits.
Our mountains are DM/BW-001, DM/BW-002, DM/BW-003, DM/BW-008, DM/BW-009, DM/BW-015, DM/BW-046, DM/BW-067, DM/BW-089, DM/BW-284 and DM/BW-531.
Spots are submitted to SOTA.
We look forward to many QSOs.
Thanks for organizing this event, Clemens!
We have quite a few newcomers from P12 (Tübingen) and all of them are looking forward to activating their first summit.
We’ll have one team on DM/BW-046 and one on DM/BW-089. The latter also on shortwave.
Thanks again for planning and organizing the event It was really busy and I was able to enter some new calls in the log. I was early on the Feldberg and enjoyed the silence and the sunrise.
Next year it might work out with the barbecue. I hope you all had a nice end of the day at the club station DL0FIS. Thanks also to Roman @DL3TU for the organization on the Farrenberg. I was very happy to reach some of you there on 2m
Thanks to all who participated - activators and of course the many chasers!
Thanks once again Clemens, for organizing this event!
Lots of activity on DM/BW-089 (8 operators) and many summits on the air from the Black Forest and Swabian Jura kept us busy for more than two hours.
The event ended with a barbeque and a visit of five more operators who were active on other summits earlier that day.
