Disgwylfa Fawr – GW/MW-038

17/12/2021

Nice in the sun

Thanks to everyone that made my Disgwylfa Fawr GW/MW-038 log today. Total of 50 contacts with 13 s2s. 2m was buzzing but both 60m and 40m proved to be very productive. I'm out again on Monday as WX looks good. According to the SOTA Alerts it looks busy in GW again tomorrow.

My GPS route
