And there was no sign pointing to the summit. So we somehow passed a little bit under the summit and then walked/climed the steep hill through the grass and plants up to the summit.

Conditions were not the best – many QRN/QRM on more or less free frequency. But we activated for sure with 15 QSO’ for OE2WNL/p and 10 QSO’s for OE2WNP/p.

Many thanks again for spotting us as Franz and Tom made it into their shacks just in time.

So Leo started again calling CQ – and with a little bit of patience OM’s dropping on the frequency.

QSO’s OE2WNL:
OE2SNL, OE2ATN, HA5TI, E77AW, DF1BN, DL2EF, ON4CCN, SV2KGA, F8AAB, SP9MDY, DL9SXX, ON7RN, IT9WLK, DL8DXL, ON5LBV

Thanks again to all stations we worked!

At first a little unsure what to tell the OM’s calling wild for getting into the Log.
At the end we had 30 QSO’s together. It was really fun.

See pictures of the activation in the Gallery.

So Leo – I’m curious for the next activation with you.

Thanks to all stations worked us.

OE2WNL & OE2WNP

17 QSO’s from OE2WNL: DL1DVE, OE2SNL, DL8DXL, HB9MKV, GW4BVE, HB9AGH, DL1ABJ, DL5EF, HA5TI, G6WRW, OK1CZ, G8BVJ, S56IHX, HA5CW, S54L, DL3SBA/P, TK10B/P (nice one)

13 QSO’s from OE2WNP:
OE2ATN, 9A7W, HB9BIN, HB9AGH, OK1SDE, ON4CGP, S51ZG, OE6WIG, S54KM, DF5WA, OE5PEN, OE5HCE, DL8DXL

Just 21 QSO’s in 6 hours isn’t funny I just can explain this because I was using the vertical Antenna which uses to radiate very flat – which is good for DX but is not good for QSO’s within Austria. So all the contacts I made where really hard work. I was repeating my callsign (if I ever was heard) over and over again and in 14 SSB Contacts I was able to get into the log.

But nevertheless – I used this oppertunity and tried my skills in CW (which I’m learning right now). So this is what was cool – I’ve done 7 QSO’s sucessfully. Some times it was hard to read the characters because some Operators unfortionatly don’t QRS when you give slower than they – but I managed to get the callsigns and the area-code after some concentration.

All in all – next year I will set up what I planned for this year but wasn’t able to do – I will put my 10m fiber-glas mast together with my W3DZZ on the roof of our house – this has to be an very exiting view – but more important it might be the better Antenna for this purpose.

So thanks to all Stations which I was able to work – and a special Thanks to the station which I had contact via CW:

• OE3EVA
• OE4PWW
• OEY682
• OE1HFC
• OE7EHH
• OE4AAC

…-.-

Over all the hike was 15 km long (with snowshoes!). After a little bit more than 1 hour ATN Tom had 30 QSO`s and WNL Woifal 40 QSO`s in the log (with the same RIG!). The well proven equipment was

• W3DZZ antenna with 10 m glass-fibre mast
• FT-817 QRP @ 5 Watt.

It took us 3 hours of walk to reach the summit. In total this activity lasted 7 hours. TNX to OE2SNL Franz, who spotted us, and TNX to all OM`s who answered our call.  The 1st CQ from Woifal (really the 1st! and before spotting) immediately brought IZ1DFH in the log. From now on we worked about 2 QSO`s per minute.

TNX to all Chasers
OE2ATN & OE2WNL

Ausrüstung:

• FT 817 QRP @ 5 Watt
• Bleiakku 12V
• Buddistick vertical für 20m
• 10m Glasfibermast mit W3DZZ für 40m

Alles in allem wieder U F B !
Dank dem Spotten durch OE2SNL Franz dauerte es nur ein paar Momente, bis sich der Lautsprecher aufgrund des großen Andranges fast überschlug. Die weiteste Verbindung war mit Dublin eine Strecke von ca. 1.700 km. Weitere Nationalitäten waren: Slovenien, Italien, Kroatien, Ungarn, Belgien, Schweden, England, Schweiz, Deutschland, Frankreich, ÖSTERREICH OE3 und OE2

Vielen Dank an die vielen freundlichen OM`s!
Bis bald auf einem anderen Gipfel,
OE2ATN & OE2WNL
