Vogelberg HB/SO-008 25.7.2024

Time for a easy activation in the neighborhood, i got by public transport to Passwang Pass, in the Jura Mountains. After a hike from 1 hour i got into the Activation Area. Since i had some time, i stared with 20m getting already enough QSO go get my points. Some S2S chasing got me 4 QSO. Calling 40m resulted in two more QSO’s. I saw the Alarm from HB9GIN and thought i wait for him. Finally i got him and HB9PIM for a S2S, they needed this contact. All of a sudden i had to hurry up, to catch my bus back home. I got it.

thank you for QSO, 73 de hb9fvk (ruedi)

Fürstein HB/OW-016 19.07.2024

This activation was with a good friend. We went by car to Glaubenbergpass, where the hike to the Summit started. After one hour with got over the first ridge and we finally saw the summit. The first Part had some muddy sections, the boots from my friend were leaking so got wet socks at all. (He got new boots meanwhile). The cows on our hike have been friendly and let us pass with no problem. The last section was step one, but we did it and got the the already busy summit.

This was my first activation with my AX2 from Heinz (hb9bcb), it did not work, but i got my points. We toke the other way back to the car, passing by this lovely lake, where the farmers were harvesting hay. Later at the Restaurant we had a drink and a Mandelgipfel. The owner claims, they are the best in whole Switzerland.
