My planing for today was to activate Chingstuel, near the Brünig Pass. The summit can be reached via Cable Car and 70 minutes hike, rated T3 according SAC.  At the station i asked for tickets, Sorry, but the Cable Car does not work today, coma back tomorrow.  Well i didn’t calculated with that one, since the Swiss Rail App told me, all okay. Since i was going back to Lucerne, i decided to activate Sonnebergwald, instead. By public transport i got to Kriens, where the hike starts. You may go up by a Retro Funicular, The schedule for today was not my friend, therefore i had to hike to the summit. At the beginning of the  hike you get some nice stairs, later it’s a nice trail, T1, no problems. At the top you see the top station of the funicular. From there it’s still 2km to go. The activation is flat surrounded by high trees. Easy to setup an antenna. Happy SOTA.

thank you for QSO, 73 de hb9fvk (ruedi)

My selected Summit was HB/LU-011, i went with my Wife and the Dog. Up there is little space to erect an Antenna. The main activation was occupied by paragliders. My antenna was close to an electric fence that made a lot of QRM on 40m Band, therefore i used 20m with the disadvantage of not being heard overall in Switzerland.

I still worked 6 S2S QSO with HB Summits, as well as UK, Belarus and Norway. Since we wanted to have a walk down, i left early.

The way down is good for experienced hikers. Next day i was suffering muscle soreness.

Sunday Morning i went for HB/LU-019. i parked my car to a nearby forest, that belongs to my family. i went with our Dog.  After a short walk of 3/4 hour i was in place and tried to find a spot to erect my antenna. My first QSO was with G0RQL at UTC 09:31, thank you Don for joining me this morning.
