- What could I have done better?
hello Martin
I think you have made a maximum for your activation and you will have more success later
recently 25/01, on F/AM -416 ,I stay in 2 hours in cold and froggy weather for having qso on the same
frequency (14.062):
calling CQ with KX1 : nothing on 40 and 30 m
at 11:22 … RW3XZ calling then
DL3 HXX at 12:02 then MW0BBU,OH3GZ and finally again RW3XZ at 13:clock1130:Ouf !!
you can see below I was spotted more than expected
all this for saying you : you are not alone and I think you will be a MG vy shortly

Thanks, Alain, and others!
What I have learnt from this is that
-
Trying hard to find a free frequency on 40m is a better strategy than 30m or 20m in the alps, because there more chasers in the first skip, and more chasers with suitable antennas etc.
-
Only QSY away from 40m once the four contacts are in the bag.
I am also trying two new types of earphones.

Hi Martin
If it is any consolation I’ve had my biggest pile-ups on 1 pointers and struggled on 10 pointers too.
Just luck of the draw sometimes!

I will likely try this summit again tomorrow.

Hi all,
I managed to activate OE/TI-104 today, but…there was a severe storm on the summit once I was QRV, and it was actually unwise to start the activation. Nevertheless, I fought four five QSOs and then had a really hard time packing up and getting home safe and sound. Activation report will follow, but already at this point apologies to chasers whom I could not work and for going QRT so quickly. This was my harshest activation so far. Hope you understand.
