Calmut HB/GR-292 01.03.2022

The wx forecast was excellent, therefore i got my gear together and went by Public transport to the Oberalppass, wich belongs to  Skiarena Andermatt-Sedrun. The summit Calmut is the first after the Oberalp Pass, that connects Swiss Cantons Uri with Graubünden. Calmut is an easy 1 hour snow shoe hike with flat beginning and a step finish. As i got to the top, it was really windy, cold and strong wind.

I installed my antenna, the mast tied to the bench. I could protect myself behind the backpack from the wind. It was my first try with 60m and it locks promising, i got 9 QSO in only 7 minutes.  On 20m i worked OM’s from all over Europe. As the wind got stronger i had to leave. Over all, a successful activation, i will do again next winter.

 

Total distance: 2340 m
Total climbing: 288 m
