VIDEO: Snowfall and summit radio on OE/OO-283 by Joe OE5JFE

Hello SOTA friends,

This time I will take you on a winter hike without blue skys but constant snowfall making it a very special winterwonder land.
Summit is Hochplettspitz OE/OO-283 - only a 4 pointer so no winter bonus in OE - although deserved I would say. But not a reason not to enjoy it.

After an ascend of 600 m we reached the summit with temperatures around -7°C. So only a short activation on 2m FM. Sorry to the chasers hoping to reach me on HF. So expect some Austrian-German QSO - hi.

But you can activate the subtitle auto-translation to English as I have added German subtitles it should work fine. And incase you wonder what Mahlzeit is? That’s a greeting we use around lunch time. Wishing a good appetite or like the french Bon Appetit.

Some pictures:
Fountain near the starting point

Walking in fresh snow. No trace before us

Summit benches but no use today

And the summit cross

Operating conditions

2m FM with handheld and logging with VK-Port-a-log and stylus pen

And the video:

Hope you enjoy!
