What's your activating experience with landowners?

I only had issues once during my SOTA career.

DM/BW-461 - sorry for sudden QRT today

Hi, I was activating DM/BW-461 today, to test my newly built linked EFHW and the frequency extension of my FT-817 which I finally managed to do. While I was happy about the performance and busy on 40m, a local hunter who was checking the hunting stands in the area came to me, asked what I was doing and after explaining SOTA to him, he told me that the place is private property and they don’t want radio operators there any more. I hat to QRT immediately. In the spirit of SOTA, I politely apolog…

Being warned by remarks on www.hb9sota.ch, I stayed out of the webcam view when activating HB/BE-048.
