VHF SOTA Activation of Roháčka OM/PO-029

Summit Roháčka OM/PO-029:



I was working from this place which is about 5 minutes from the summit. It is much better for installing the antenna.


I made these contacts:

SOTA-SOTA QSO:
SP9OZI SP/BZ-048 QRB 93 km
SQ9TEN/P SP/BZ-030 QRB 88 km

Equipment used: Yaesu FT-2980 | 7 Ah LiFePO4 battery | 4m mast | Diamond NR22L antenna | PWR 10W and 30W

HF SOTA Activation of Kloptaň OM/KE-006

I worked on 20m and made 9 contacts. There were many stations on 40m so I was not able to find any not used frequency there. I tried also 17m because I had ATU with me but after spotting myself on SotaWatch and several calls I did not copy any station on 17. The weather was windy and not quite warm even though it was sunny. It took me 3 hours to reach the summit and 1,5 hours to descent. It is 12 km hike to the summit and back with 750 m of ascent.
