I really liked the surroundings. I’ve been up other summits in the area (including AT-001 and AT-002) - I found this to be up there with the best.

Yes - I’ll log that one later. It’s a much longer list (29 QSOs)., so I left it as today’s job. Confirmed - 59 at 9.46z. 
Great to work you - Mikel’s setup was great (planning and execution), so it made my life a lot easier.
73, Omar.

So you’ve got your Full licence now Omar? What’s the new call?
…although it looks like chasers have logged you as EA5/M9OMS. Did you manage to get a temporary licence from the Spanish authorities?

Yes indeed. Quite a simple process once you know how to do it.
The thread is here: SOTA in Spain: for UK Foundation and Intermediate license holders.

Thanks for the nice words, Omar. It was a lot of fun to meet you and to activate EA5/AT-042 together!
P.S. There is also a bit of a name problem here. This summit is listed as “Serrella” as this is the name of the trig point there (number 82162). but the actual name of the summit is Recingle Alt, Catalan for “the high double-cliff”, as in a cliff that has a step before the actual cliff. This is the name found in the Valencian government’s official page.
As I write these lines you’re climbing up Montcabrer EA5/AT-003. Good luck!

You are a Saint. I’ll make sure to quote your info regarding the name in the activation report.
For everyone else reading this, I stupidly followed Google maps to the rendezvous point (for AT-042), which took me onto a farm track… which got me stuck… so I dumped the car and walked the rest of the way. Arriving some 45 mins late.
No hire cars were harmed during this expedition, but they were soiled.

Thanks, Omar, but I’ll never reach sainthood no matter how hard I try, for I am a sinner.
I drove up to the parking place you walked to. Who’s holier?
Come back soon to EA5/AT. You know some summits better than I do!
