Zlatý stôl (1322 m asl) is the highest peak of Volovske mountains located in east Slovakia. It took me two and half hours to the summit and exactly one hour back to the car.
I made 3 contacts on 145 MHz FM and 5 on 20m.

Skalisko OM/KE-023 VHF SOTA Activation 9/2021
This was SOTA activation on 2 band. Maybe one of the last or the last "VHF only" activation. I made only 4 QSOs. I was trying really hard and calling many CQs on 145.500, 145.525, 145.550, 145.575. Only 4 stations answered. I used handheld transceiver Yaesu FT70 with 1/2 wave telescopic antenna Diamond RH-770.
The weather was perfect. No wind, pleasantly warm day and beautiful nature. Bears occur in this mountain range, but luckily I haven't met any. It took me almost three hours to the mountain top and one and half hour back to the car.
Smrekovica OM/PO-018 HF SOTA Activation 9/2021
Another SOTA activation after half a year break. This time on HF 20m. I was not active in SOTA on HF for exactly two years. Shame on me. These days I'm trying to reduce the weight of my SOTA equipment to minimum. I would like to be more active in the SOTA program again and especially on HF.

Zádielska tiesňava 4/2021
About two-hour 6 km hike to the western edge of the gorge with beautiful views. The first relaxing part through the valley. The second part with a quite steep ascent to the plain above the gorge. The most difficult is about 800m long part with 200m altitude ascent:
The weather was pleasant spring but the sun's rays are already intensifying so my head without a cap has tanned. I made couple contacts on PMR 446 MHz with my friend who was located on the nearest castle Turna just 3 km away and with another one on the summit "Jeleni vrch" - 947m asl) about 6 km to the north. Another nice 44 km contact was made on 145 MHz.
view from the place where I was transmitting and stayed for about 3 hours..
view from the same place to another direction..
in the forest on the plain..

Contact with Hawaii
I made QSO with Arch AH6U from Maui, Hawai in FT8 mode on 20m band.
I was very pleased with this contact.
Spring walk 4/2020
I took a short spring walk just 40km away from my base location and experienced a nice view of the valley at sunset. Made of course a few local contacts.
