GW/SW-007 – Fan Nedd

20/12/2021

Cold activation today

Despite trying to make this a quick activation I landed up staying for nearly an hour...brrr. Getting that last fourth contact on 2m was difficult and I was forced to use HF. Nice run on 60m and thanks to everybody that called in.

Park at SN923196
