Isle of Skye 2015 - Second summit of the day
GM/SI-081 Bioda Buidhe
03/06/2015
Whilst the others were making their way down from Meall na
Suiramach I quickly made my way up towards the summit of Bioda Buidhe.
Looking back at Meall na Suiramach
The wind
had picked up considerably compared to the previous summit and when I arrived
on top it was evident that I could not fully extend the pole and would have find
a hollow to operate from. I set up inside the Bothy bag and quickly assembled the
FT817 linking it to the linear.
With no phone signal I called out on 7.114 as
7.118 was occupied..Bingo! Karl M3FEH
came back to my calls and the offer of a spot...thanks Karl. As soon as I had finished with Karl, David
EI7GEB/p called in with an s2s from EI/IW-005 so thank you for that one David.
As soon as Karl’s spot kicked in I had a steady stream of regular chasers and
although some of the sections of my pole decided to collapse signal reports were not too bad :)
