SP15SOTA award to celebrate 15 years of SOTA SP (Part 1)

For today in forecast was rain, in afternoon time snow.
To survive I activated SP/BZ-040 - summit with shelter.

I worked 18MHz CW, 21MHz CW, 10MHz CW, 28MHz SSB, 21MHz SSB, 7MHz SSB, 14MHz SSB & 2m FM.
Two series are worth to indicate:
On 10MHz CW 41 QSOs within 25 minutes, including 2 S2S QSOs :wink:
On 7Mhz SSB 32 QSOs within 20 minutes, including 1 S2S QSO :wink: - on 7MHz I must QSY a few times due to QRM.

In total 140 contacts logged, 14 S2S :wink:

SP/BZ-001 is activated.
Conditions allowed handheld work only.
We call this summit Queen of Beskids but second name is Mother of Bad Weather.
Today Queen of Beskids offered beautiful view but at the same time we suffered strong wind.

Photo below shows shelter that allowed to survive :wink:

On 2m FM I logged 39 QSOs, 2 of them S2S :wink:

Łukasz SO15TA/P activated earlier than me (we met on the trail) and later he activated one more summit SP/BZ-002, also on HF :wink:

Hi Ignacio,
Thank you very much :exclamation:
It is great honor for me to take a part in GURU commemorative action.
Unfortunately it is typical for many chasers to open their big guns too early when we complete S2S QSO.
This problem we also discussed in the past here on reflector with our Friend Guru but I think it is incurable disease.

See you soon on frequencies Ignacio :wink:
