I would like to turn your attention to very interesting region of SOTA SP association - Bieszczady mountains.
They are located on very South-East part of Poland including our borders with Slovakia and Ukraine
Region has 29 active summits, a few of them are popular but a half of the region has just single digit numer of activations.
In below movie is recorded summary of the day (this is general natural video without any correction, I am sorry for heavy breath but idea was to try to show you real circumstances of the hike) :
Hi Jarek.
That looks like a fantastic area. I am sure you are up for the challenge. I have not developed my bear outrunning skills. Make sure your boot laces are tied up tight.
Many thanks activators and chasers for your support today on my activation of SP/BI-010
Internet here is very poor so I will put wider information after come back home.
Anyway, stay tuned
Activations are scheduled also for tomorrow, Saturday & Sunday
I found place with better internet connection and can put some information about activation of SP/BI-010.
It was done on June 16th after a few hours driving from home QTH.
On that day, an extreme mountain run with a length of 80 km, so-called Butcher’s Run, “visited” also our summit area.
At the turning point, the organizers put up a signpost, which was very useful for us to install the mast.
The final activation of long weekend was on Sunday June 19th, the summit we selected SP/BI-009
That day was very hot, temperature was about 25 degrees Celsius, fortunately the route was in the forest - it was no scenic environment but we well survived in the shade.
Hi Jarek, thanks for S2S today. I stayed on summit to get the qso.
I did not hear you in 40m and was a bit worried thinking we wouldn’t meet due to solar condition, but we finally did it in 30m, good ears!
Hi Ignacio,
Also many thanks
It was very windy on the summit, my mast was erected just in 1/3 (may be 1/2…) of its usual heigth.
I must help him to stay vertically during TX
