Last week, I activated the #SOTA summit of Moel Gyw. This time I was going to give #23cm a proper go and I could see a few others had similar plans.
Armed with my FT-857, SG-Lab transverter, loads of suncream and no idea on how I was going to connect and mount the gear when I got there, I set off.
Parking was a pain, and it took some trial and error at the top, but I made 9 QSOs on 23cm with the PCB antenna and 2w! After that, I moved to #2m which was good fun as usual. #HamRadio #AmateurRadio

A coax cable with crocodile clips is attached to a driven element of a 3 element 2m yagi (SOTABEAM). The braid has almost totally disconnected from the crocodile clip, only holding on by two strands.
A trig point (painted white) has a fibreglass mast tied to it, with a radio sat on the top of the trig point. A messy run of cables runs up the mast to a metal box, with a yellow antenna attached to it. This is the SG-lab transverter with 2 element PCB antenna. The transverter is held to the mast using a velcro strap. This is as dodgy as it sounds.
Alternative view of the trig point with the Yaesu FT-857 clearly in view. The fibreglass mast is behind the radio. The messy cables running up the mast to the SG-Lab transverter probably looks even worse than the other photo. The transverter (silver metal box) and PCB antenna are visible at the top of the photo.

Today, a walk to Ruabon Moors trig point, AKA Ruabon Mountain South trig point with my good friend @DafyddJack. It was a long one, and we had to make our own path for the last part up to the trig, but it was worth it. Played a little bit of radio when we got there, and managed a handheld to handheld QSO on #2m with a #SOTA station on Scafell Pike. Video to follow. What a great day! Betty the dog is pictured enjoying the walk. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #VHF

A dirt track through moorland. Betty the dog is in the middle of the photo looking back at the camera. She is on a lead. The track extends into the distance. The location is elevated and so in the background you can see many miles away.

I've been staying in Medicine Park, OK for a few days, doing #SOTA and #POTA activations in the nearby Wichita Mountains. The cabin I'm staying in is one the slope of Mt. Cummins, W5O/WI-031. There's a hiking trail that leads up a hill with a nice view of Mt. Scott and has a bench to sit on. I took my KH-1 and chased POTA from there this morning. Good way to start a day.

Sunset #sota to round the weekend off, Kerloch GM/ES-059 with contacts from Peterhead to Dundee on 2m. The RH770 is a solid antenna.

10km walked, 450m climbed and summit activated in under 2 hours. Pleased with the pace.

More wind than I expected, shorts and no gloves was a brave combination on the summit for this time of year!

I made lots of excited sounds when I hit the shoulder of the hill and the landscape came into view, bathed in light about 15 minutes before sundown. It was a joy to be on the summit at that time.

Me in a yellow jacket holds a walkie-talkie and smiles at the camera, standing against a colorful sunset sky. The background features a rocky landscape and distant hills.
