My GPS track
Sugar Loaf in the distance
Getting closer
Once again I was being called before I had set up the station :) John MW0XOT/p was outside his car in a lay-by waiting for me to get up to the summit. He was soon in the log followed shortly by Rod and Viki over on Fan Gyhirych GW/SW-006 with a contact for Viki on both 2m and 70cms…  :)

We had dropped away from the trig as it was quite busy but also there was quite a stiff and icy cold breeze blowing. A self spot and I was away on 60m with all chasers getting a genuine 5/9 apart from Rod who was having difficulties with his antenna from Fan Gyhirych…good contact though and in the log.

s2s on 2m
Links changed and I was away on 40m with strong signals from the chasers. It was great to get three s2s on 40m with Martin and Mark on GM/SS-276 Moncreiffe Hill and Viktor on HA/EM-059 Hegyes-hegy..thanks everybody. Quite a few WAB chasers also called in to get the square and trig.
