Puy de la Poche F/MC-016 & Puy du Bac F/MC-53 acti

Firstly, many thanks to all the chasers today. There was a lot of qsb and depressed conditions today. Specially to DJ9MH and G4SSH who spotted us today, … having screwed up the alert times with the time difference in France.

F/MC-016 in the morning. 40&30m
WX: vy cloudy, cold-ish 11C and 10Kph wind. 1509m ASL. 200m vertical ascent. 4.5km round trip. Nice walk through the forest. The ridge provided shelter from the wind. It was a quick one as it seemed it was going to rain.
The conditions seemed very depressed this morning, a few 339,…
HB1B + mountain tuner & multiband EFHW set as inverted V on a 7m pole along the ridge N-S.
