GW/MW-035 – Rhos Ymryson
14/04/2019
s2s
chasing again
Rhos Ymryson is a one pointer about 30 minutes from
home but serves as a good summit when chasing s2s. Andrew was on Pen y Garn GW/MW-004 and it
would be more or less line of sight between us. I set up in a large depression in an earth
mound which has been there for years but gives good protection from the biting
wind that was still blowing but less fierce than yesterday.
Protected from the wind in a depression
Spot for 2m and still as quiet as yesterday
but I was not too concerned as I would be able to put up the HF antenna. Andrew
was soon in the log and after a few more calls I switched across to my alerted
frequency on 60m to be greeted by Don RQL who had just come in to have a listen
after a spot of gardening. We had a nice chat while Don put up a spot which
brought a good run of chasers to the log although rapid qsb was playing havoc
with the signals….very enjoyable 20 minutes..thanks everyone.

80m was less hectic as I had spoken to many on
60m..some signals were 5/9 each way although I never did manage to get Helen
M0TMD as rapid qsb set in and we were unable to make the contact stick..ah
well.
My
activation set-up
HF:- Elecraft KX2 (10 watts) and 4Ah LiPo
Antenna - 3 band link dipole (60/40/20 (+15m extensions +80m
loading coils)
VHF:-Yaesu FT270 and
dipole
Antenna support – 5m Fishing pole
Thanks everyone for
the contacts
