Hi all,
I will start from next Tuesday a couple of “1st activation” and “new french summits” too.
1st will be F/PO-268 Chuiko Mendi on Tuesday 5th.
2nd will be F/PO-245 Choldocogagna on Wednesday 6th (hope WX will be ok, the panorama should be wonderful with a view on Atlantic Ocean, Spain and Pyrénées Mountains…).
Also previewed F/PO-264 Mont Ursuya and F/PO-213 Mont Baygoura (897m) or F/PO-212 La Rhune (900m) (these 2 lasts are a personal undids), later if WX ok and OM too HI.
It will end by F/SO-003 Salères near Agen (DPT. 47) on Feb 18th.
All activities during week at morning in CW (mic is broken) with videos as usually.
I hope to hear you…

Bonjour à tous,
A compter de mardi prochain, je vais débuter un certain nombre d’activités SOTA “première activation” et de “nouveaux sommets français” également.
La première sera F/PO-268 Chuiko Mendi Mardi 5 Février.
La seconde sera F/PO-245 Choldocogagna Mercredi 6 Février (en espérant que le WX sera OK car le panorama devrait être assez exceptionnel avec une vue sur l’Océan Atlantique, l’Espagne et les Pyrénées…).
Egalement prévus F/PO-264 Mont Ursuya et F/PO-213 Mont Baygoura (897m) ou F/PO-212 La Rhune (900m)(Ces 2 derniers étant surtout un défi personnel) un peu plus tard si le temps est ok et l’OM également ! HI
Je terminerai par F/SO-003 Salères à côté d’Agen (DPT. 47) le 18 Février.
Toutes ces activités auront lieu en semaine, de matin, en CW (micro HS) et filmées, comme d’habitude.
Je vous espère nombreux !

Wow, just back !
Thanks to all guys contacted this morning, WX was wonderful (13°C on summit)compared when I left QRA (2.5°C only)…
56 QSOS (my best score till now : 35 on 40M CW, 20 on 30M CW and 1 on 40M SSB).
Roy G4SSH was again the first to call : no more need to call CQ then HI !
I send photos on SOTA France and make the video this afternoon, will post the link for Youtube here…

Thank you for the QSO Chris. Although you were 559 at our time, you increased to 599 as the morning wore on. 13C on the summit sounds good to me sitting at 7C !!
you’re welcome !
I’m sorry I won’t be able go to F/PO-245 tomorrow, rain is previewed at the end of the morning there… I’ll try Thursday certainly in the end of the morning.
I have problems with “NeroVision” to create the video, don’t know why… 3rd time I finish it and impossible to recode and to re-open.
I’ll try again tomorrow.

Hello all, just back from Choldocogagna…
36 QSOs CW (33 on 40M, nothing on SSB, and 3 on 30M).
Not very good propagation, it is better in the morning I believe… Anyway, I was happy to give you a new SOTA reference.
The view was fantastic and WX also, about 15°C on summit !
I send photos on SOTA FRANCE, they’ll be online tomorrow I believe.
Photos of “Chuiko Mendi” F/PO-268 are online : http://www.sota-france.fr/f8dzy-po-268.html
