I found another great place to activate on Haidel [DM/BM-065] today:
The lookout tower is over 30m tall, so my 30m windom only came to halfway down the tower when I hung it over the side:
There is a nice little corner that is perfect for an activator to sit, so no getting in the way of other visitors:
There is much less noise to deal with here, compared to some of the towers in Styria, only a couple of S points, nothing the KX2 filters can’t cope with. Unfortunately, 10m was dead, but 30m worked well and I got plenty of contacts. The view from the top is awesome, as you would expect:
It’s a shame I had to move on to the next mountain, as I had some difficult S2S contacts that would probably have been easier from the top of this tower; oh well.
Unfortunately, when I got to Almberg [DM/BM-063], I went and put the wrong summit ref (BM-064) into VK Portalog. ![]()
The specifics can be found here:
Apart from that, it was another enjoyable days activating here in DM/BM. 2 more days left and then it’s time to head for home.
