SOTA OE/SB-208 Braggstein

… the hardest “8 Points Summit” I ever achieved. Really really very steep way up and due to WX (over 30 degrees centigrade) very exhausting. Starting at 07:00 we climbed up the altitude difference of 1.000 meters in exactly 2 hours.

I was very glad to have OE2WNL down in the shack who added an alert for me. Almost everytime when I found a silent QRG and just began CQing someone else tried to use the freq. too and so I was heard much harder.
Nevertheless I got my 4 QSO`s which i had to do:

• EA1YC, 1.550 km
• G4OBK, 1.130 km
• G4WSB, 1.130 km
• GWBVE, 1.260 km

All on 20m band.

So thanks for coming back to my call and CU on the next summit
