LD Sunsets - Gummer's How & Hallin Fell

Activation Reports
1

The past two evenings I’ve had the opportunity to get out on the fells, and given my lack of fitness chose the old favourite yesterday, Gummer’s How, and then a first for me tonight, Hallin Fell which was magical and well worth the effort to get there.

Visibility was excellent both evenings - it’s the second time now that I’ve been able to see the Welsh mountains from Gummer’s How.

Here are a couple of panoramas.

Thanks for the S2S earlier Mark from FL/VO-021. What antenna were you using as you were very loud (despite the noise).

Hi Robert

Yes thanks for the SOTA S2S. I was kind of cheating this evening - I took the FT-857, Sotabeams Band Hopper IV with the Sotabeams Tactical 8m mast. 100w makes a big difference!

Have a great time. Cheers, Mark.
