Last weekend I went to Izvorul Muresului hiking with some friends.
Friday - YO/EC-143
Me and XYL arrived there on Friday around 10am local time and started our hike to YO/EC-143.
There was some snow but it was ok. The weather was nice, just 1-2 degree above zero.
I found a nice place and starting activation around 1045 UTC using my vertical fishpole antenna.
50 minutes later I had 46 QSOs in my Logbook
Saturday - YO/EC-012
Saturday we went to Piatra Singuratica and then to Hasmasul Mare *YO/EC-012".
Start of the trail was a bit hard because of ice and slope, but in about 2 hours we managed to get close to Piatra Singuratica and there was some fog/clouds.
Leaving Piatra Singuratica, the weather started to be better
The sun was starting to shine…
and we continued our hike…
close to the summit we found some “black mountain goats”
Arrived at the summit, I started to activate while others were taking pictures, eating, resting …
After activation, we started our descent and some found a faster way
I wasn’t so lucky with Elecraft KX3 and a fishpole at the bottom of my backpack
Sunday
Initially I wanted to activate YO/EC-150 Suhardul Mare, but the group wanted to hike the smaller summit Suhardul Mic (Mic = small, Mare= Great/Big). So, I’ve decided to hike with them and activate YO/EC-150 other time.
It wasn’t a SOTA activation, but still want to share some picture with you:
On the photo above you can see YO/EC-055. Will try to activate that, but I need to get some access permission
THANK YOU to all the chasers and hope to hear you again from another summit.
73,
