GI SOTA Trip - Activation #3 - Brougher Mountain GI/SW-007 - Monday 30th May 2016

This was a very easy and short walk as Jimmy had researched that it was possible to drive up the transmitter access road and park close to the compound. From here, it was a walk of about 100m with 30m ascent to the trig point.

While setting up my longwire, I noticed Jimmy was in S2S QSO on 2m FM, with GI0AZA/P and GI0AZB/P on Gortmonley Hill GI/SM-024. I dived in and made these my own first two QSOs. Jimmy went on to qualify with five on 2m FM, while I added one on 40m CW and three on 20m CW.

No further callers for either of us, so we took the decision to make a sharp exit and press on to complete the schedule of a fourth activation on the day, which was to be on Pollnalaght GI/SW-008.
