Dense fog at my home-QTH but a sunny day over the inverse-layer on the “Wasserkuppe” in Central Hesse, 950m high.
Not only clear views, but also some dx-s2s-qso`s (tnx Bob, AC1Z and Paul, N1ZF, on W1/HA-068) and many other nice contacts made this activation for me unforgettable!
Rig: KX2/5W, doublet 2x13m
Of course, Manuel, EA2DT, was a reliable chaser again (headword: 300.000 chaser-points… ) along with all the other call´s, heard since many years on the bands!
In spite of a lovely sun and temp abt. 5 degrees celsius, my fingers and feets got a little cold after more than 90 min, ending with a challenging pile-up on 40m in cw.
Please apologize for no ssb-mods…
Tnx, Gerhard for our 2s2 on 20m in cw and your nice words in our qso.
I wasn’t able to say it in cw. And it was a big surprise to work you on a ground wave over 174km. The pic shows the theoretical paths of the waves
I enjoy it so much, that I didn’t miss all the nice cw contacts now. The “learning by doing” methode seems to work.
By the way, yesterday I had my very first s2s contact to the states in cw with Paul, N1ZF
Hi Jarek,
I could not agree more. There are attractive views from the Wasserkuppe in winter time like Gerhard @DL4TO provided with his photo (or see my QSL card from an earlier activation)…
