Last weekend I activated Semaforo IS0/IS-266 (“Traffic Light”) on the island of Sardinia. This special hill hosts the ruins of a radio laboratory used by Marconi, who was born 150 years ago. #sardegna#hamradio#sota#italy#SummitsOnTheAir#PortableOps
Hiked up 🗻 Cnoc an Daimh Mor (GM/NS-142) in northern Scotland 🏴 to operate its first “Summits On The Air” radio station. Was one of the last unactivated summits in the UK. 17.5km of bog and peat maze. 29 hours driving to get there and back. 1 point. 💪🏻😃 #sota#hamradio#summitsontheair#hf#elecraft#portableops
RF-Fishing Aficionados! The masts I like to use are on sale on AliExpress right now. My go-to length is the 4.5m one, but it can be useful to stock up on some shorter (and cheaper) lengths to use as parts for repairs: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802747139303.html
MTR3B with my new trapped EFHW. Antenna performed great on all bands. Good conditions today! I also got on 10m with the kx2, but got some phone calls during that, which made for bad CW from me. Good views of North Sister. #SOTA#POTA#HamRadio#PortableOps
Summits on the air activations of Sharp Haw and Cracoe Fell this week in the northern Pennines. Pleased with the Elecraft KX2 setup so far, nice to get some international summit to summit contacts on the logbook. 🏞️ #hamr#amateurradio#hamradio#sota#portableops
Summits on the air activation yesterday of G/NP-008 Great Whernside. Not to be confused with the other Whernside! Got the #elecraft KX2 📻 setup and made some local contacts on the 40m band. #hamradio#portableops#sota
I ended the event with 9 Activations, 58 points, 150 QSOs (as an activator, plenty more as a chaser), 57 S2S QSOs, passed 100 Unique summits, and passed 2500 chaser points.
