GW/NW-038 Moel Ysgyfarnogod

 

GW/NW-038 Moel Ysgyfarnogod

08/July/2021

Reasonable views today

Thanks to everyone who made my Moel Ysgyfarnogod log. After a misty start it was an enjoyable activation with 48 contacts, 19 on 2m, 2 on 70cms, 2 on 60m, 7 on 40m and finally 18 on 20m with 10 s2s. (deep QSB on the HF bands). It was nice to meet up with Rod and Viki later for tea outside their rented holiday cottage in Dolgellau. A few photos below with a focus on some of the animals encountered.
