GW/SW-011 Sugar Loaf

Quick activation

Tasos M6VAR sent me an e-mail to say he was coming up to SW from London on Friday afternoon and could we do an easy summit on Saturday.  He was having problems with a leg injury so wanted something easy..Sugar Loaf was ideal and I hadn't activated this year.

We shared the contacts and as Tasos wanted to start back early this was a quick activation using only 2m.  It was a bonus and a surprise to get Tom M1EYP/p in the log for our one and only summit to summit.

Busy summit...we shared the contacts on 2m

Our activation set up:-  (VHF) Yaesu FT270 (5watts) into a ‘cable tie’ dipole, Antenna support - 7m Fishing pole.

Thanks everyone for the contacts
