Cyrn-y-Brain 2014

 

Sunday 19th January 2014

Moel y Gamelin and Cyrn-y-Brain
A favourite walking day for this walking man
Begins with a slog up Moel y Faen
Keeping up with G3CWI as quick as I can

Jimmy M0HGY        Shelter on the summit

VK was the first response on 12 meter
Jimmy has a flask of sweet tea - half a litre
On 2m he works M1CNL - Peter
Richard keeps warm with his charcoal heater

12m GP, Jimmy M0HGY & MFD        Richard G3CWI

After 15 QSOs I descend for me dinner
Steak pie at Ponderosa won't make me thinner
Very busy as usual "Not much room at the inner"
A great feed as always, must be a winner

Tom M1EYP        FT-817 on rucksack

Activation two, a walk up the track
Done it many times, still I come back
Belly full, no need for a snack
But sweet tea was taken when energy I lack

Cyrn-y-Brain        Egerton Arms, Chelford

USA dominates as propagation turns west
As signals go, N4EX is best
North America accounts for much of the rest
But damp ground and wet trousers is a bit of a pest

The Ponderosa Pair, therein lies the rub
Two activations separated by the finest of grub
As SOTA days go, there is no sub
And as ever we conclude with a pint in the pub
