Rig: KX3 / 10W, 2200mAh LiPo, Palm Pico Paddle
Ant: inverted V up 7m on a GRP Pole

12 CW QSOs on 30m.

A short trip together with the xyl to one of the 12 mountains of the Schwäbische Alb, reaching 1000m a.s.l.

We started from the car park.

There is a nice view on the ‚Lochen‘ on the way to the summit.

Antenna for 10 MHz: inverted Vee, 7m up…

… and its unusual fixture.

The eagle ignores the pile- up…

This was the last summit of the day (trip to DM/BW-058, 064 and 052)

The station was set up a bit north of the actual summit…

… because of a radar station on the top. The supposed high leves of RF did not affect the KX3 receiver.
