Quick activation
Gerald and Sue were on their way back from Tenby and heading for Mold hoping to activate a few summits on their way home. A text from Gerald the previous night asking if I’d like to
join him on this one saw me getting up early on the summit and setting up
before Gerald arrived at the car park....I only live about 20 minutes away. Gerald soon joined me and with my half
wave dipole for 80m and 40Watts with the FT857 (22Ah LiPo) we quickly qualified
the summit. With no more chasers Gerald
spent some time on 2m FM and SSB.

We had a nice run of high point s2s including a 4m contact with Simon
on Moel Siabod using my Wouxun KG-699E handheld. I think this contact has convinced me to
construct a more efficient antenna which I can strap to the fishing pole. Thanks also to Mike and Rod for those valuable points. As
Gerald was heading to another summit and I had work to do we made our way down
and we each went our separate ways having talked about another joint-activation
next weekend…looking forward to it already.
Our activation set
up:- (HF and VHF) FT857(40watts, 4m as above. Antenna
80m dipole for HF and Multi Functional Dipole for VHF Antenna
support - 7m Fishing pole.
Thanks everyone for
the contacts
