Franzs goal for today was Reiterkogel. He reached the summit when I (Tom) finished my operation up on SB-231. As I finished packing my equipment for the way down Franz told me via 2m that he already has abt. 15 QSO`s.

Great WX this week so you really have to hurry up the mountains to achieve a few SOTA-points. Only 3 degrees in the morning (you can see frost on a picture) but later on very sunny and perfect for walking.

Once again a strong pileup for Franz who was on “Steinplatte” today. Over about 30 minutes 1 QSO per minute – very good conditions and fb WX on this day… Watch the gallery for pictures!

SNL Franz far ahead now with SOTA-Activation-Points! 😉

This very foggy morning with abt. 4 degrees centigrade up on 1.800m could not stop us hurrying up to get 6 more points to our activator-log. After 1 hour and 10 minutes walk we reached our destination 1 hour before the spotted time and comfortably set up the 2 antennas (WNL`s W3DZZ and the Buddistick).
