Here is my (late) report from the NA-EU Event, on DL/BE-019:
Planned to start operation around 13:00 UTC, so daughter Tamara 16Y was happy as she could sleep till 10am local (usually we leave house 7am for the 1…2h drive to the Alps).
As Apr 23rd is the “Day of Beer” in Germany – the Summit Drink had to match:
That increased the backpack weight to 14kg 
- the 750m ascend / 5km took us 2.5h.
Summit in the background:
For this event, took the IC706 (100W) with LiFePo 15Ah + one 21Ah.
Antenna was an end fed Vertical Dipole with Links, supported by 12m mast from DX-Wire.
That created interest by the the other hikers on the summit – they were impressed by the explanation of the young lady: “We are doing an experiment today if we can reach North America by Radio Waves with Morse Code !”
Mostly sunny, just 10min of rain in the middle of the activation, we were prepared bringing ponchos.
Mainly called CQ on 20m and 17m, RBN gave good reports from NA (and even ZL).
KT5X called in on 17m, and could reach VA2EO on 15 and 17m (on both bands with mismatched antenna - wrong link due to fast QSY).
The 15Ah batt was drawn after 2.5h, then switched to the other.
In total 62 QSO during 3h of operation.
Learning: such event needs quick tuning to the spotted activator – bringing the mast down to change the jumper takes too long. Need to make a design with traps.
