The first Activation of Snowdon (1939)?

[MM0FMF]

You may not have seen this (modern in comparison) vintage 23cms pseudo-SOTA operation:

1953 style 23cms SOTA activity

I was talking to Brian G4ZRP last night about the fact I’d bought the bits for my 1W 3cms PA and some aluminium ex-aircraft radar waveguide and with a following wind would finally be QRV for 3cms SOTA soon. Anyway he just sent me a scan of an old Bulletin (RadCom) page showing some 23cms (24cms actually) SOTA S2S activity from 1953 which makes it clear how trivial SOTA operation is now compared to 58 years ago!
