Agnew's Hill, GI/AH-005 - 474m ASL - D 327 016 - OSNI Discoverer 9 - 2 SOTA points
Monday 29th
November 2021
We were heading for Ballygally on the Antrim coast for a few days, visiting
Marianne’s dad - Captain Jimmy, after whom M0HGY was named! Ironically, Jimmy
M0HGY was working that week and so remained at home, and not away with Marianne,
Liam and me.
Usual routine - try to get SOTA activating done while people are in bed, so as
not to impinge on family time! After the overnight ferry from Birkenhead
to Belfast, (and a fabulous large Ulster Fry at the Harbour Cafe near Belfast
port) Maz and Liam were tired and opted to go straight to bed upon arrival at
the accommodation in Ballygally. Hence that was my first opportunity.
This was the most local SOTA summit, and therefore usually the first target when
I’m over. It’s a short boggy slog of about 20 minutes to the summit cairn.
I used the Alexloop and qualified the activation with 5 QSOs on 40m CW, 3 on 30m
CW and 3 on 40m SSB. No takers on 2m FM. All stations were recognised chasers.
