GW/SW-001 – Pen y Fan

 

GW/SW-001 – Pen y Fan

06/02/2020

Travelling light today..2m vhf only

A really nice day was promised and that’s what happened. I was travelling light today with only 2m. It was buzzing and I easily qualified the summit with 4 contacts from my fellow Carmarthen Amateur Radio Society members.  Great s2s contact with Nick and Dave on Skiddaw in the Lake District and I finished the activation with friends Rod, Viki, Adrian and Philip on their respective summits…thanks everyone. You can see from the photos the clouds were putting on a nice display.

The easy way

 

Busy today..
