SOTA road trip, Day 2 - Sunday 2nd August 2020

From Mynydd Eppynt GW/SW-018, it was another longer-than-expected and rather tedious drive.  Once I'd parked up on the large rough parking area beside this hill though, my mood lifted.  It was a pleasant sunny afternoon, and I looked forward to this short rewarding ascent.

17m GP on Hafod Ithel        Tom MW1EYP/P

Learning from my experience of the previous day, and that from the previous activation today, I opted immediately for 17m FT8 operation.  This gave a quick and easy qualification, with Israel amongst those worked.  The next target was a teatime activation of Rhos Ymryson GW/MW-035.
