I fell in love with mountains at age of 10. Later, I saw someone with a radio on a peak. In 1997 I passed my ham exam. I found SOTA in 2014 - seems a good blend

@wG0AT I used to have such situations. It took longer but eventually someone copied me at regular qrp/sota frequencies and would spot me either. I'm curious to hear how did this end in your case. :)

@ec7zt @ea3cv Manuel has been my top chaser for years both SSB and CW. Even now at weak signals in those years I can hear him chasing in QSB, QRM, Q-whatever. :-) True Ham!

@Marek24576868 Correct. Thx!

Almost there... Babia Gora, SP/BZ-001, 1722 m a.s.l.

[SQ6GIT 😷 @sq6git]

A quick shelter on SP/BZ-068 today. :)

@opparamed Moze zbyt blisko? 7.032 tylko bylo

[SQ6GIT 😷 @sq6git]

This was my shelter improvised on SP/BZ-036 Kiczory. Thanks all who tried to have QSO with me. I know my technical issues were an obstacle. Double thanks for your patience.

Keeping hiking. Today quite rainy night and followed by rainy Wednesday. I will try to activate next summit either the same day or next day.

[SQ6GIT 😷 @sq6git]

In the background - Babia Gora SP/BZ-001. I hope I can make it with all the crowds expected and malfunctioning radio.

[SQ6GIT 😷 @sq6git]

Polica SP/BZ-002. Huge technical problems - my Pico Paddle cable fails to connect properly, so does power cable. I must have sounded much as a LID holding power cable in left hand, while logging on the phone and keying breaking sounds with the right...

[SQ6GIT 😷 @sq6git]

Hit the road Jack... ;) Keeping hiking. On the air, soon. #gsb #sota

View in the morning after night activation and sleep on Dzwonkowka SP/BZ-037

[SQ6GIT 😷 @sq6git]

Quick setup on SP/BZ-023. Tomorrow another summit. :)

[SQ6GIT 😷 @sq6git]

Picturesque summit Rotunda SP/BS-016. Thank you, Chasers!

[SQ6GIT 😷 @sq6git]

Found the culprit. Something wrong with the feeder. Improvisation is best friend for SOTA - made it with a 20cm patch. Not best solution, but applied in lack of others.

Thank you, all the Chasers.

@EA2CW I found the issue - something wrong with the feeder. Luckily I had a spare patch and on another summit managed with it.

[SQ6GIT 😷 @sq6git]

SP/BS-013 unfortunately failed to activate. Firstly, the pwr supply failed, then after a fix no QSO. Let's see what happens next days. :)

[SQ6GIT 😷 @sq6git]

@K9wbz1 Looks really great. Would you be willing to share the design?

[SQ6GIT 😷 @sq6git]

Time to go back on trail - in 2 weeks time. 20-29 June OK, 1-20 August SP. Stay tuned! :) #SOTA #SummitsOnTheAir #QRP #MTR5b #Hiking #AmateurRadio #cw #NatureHike #OnTheAirAgain
