QSL card for the GW/SW-011 – Sugar Loaf activation.
I was the first to arrive at the car park. Temperature: 8 – 10C.
… and as a surprise for a HB9 hiker the ground is covered by grass …
… and no trees at all.
Sugar Loaf summit and a group of hikers were enoying their sandwiches.
My shack on the East side of the summit. Firstly no wind at all and secondly better take off direction Western Europe.
10m of The WireMan 450 Ohm balanced feeder 553 connected to the built in KAT2 antenna tuner. As long as the station is not grounded this works perfectly and at QRP level you don’t have to worry about RF on the K2 case.
4200mAh NiMH Accu from Intellect Battery which are available from eflight.ch in HB9.
Whatever suited best from my contest shack was used as SOTA rig. K2, Mini-Paddle, Ear-phones from my old MP3-Player.
View towards East with GW/SW-016 – Ysgyryd Fawr behind the antenna.
