Great Orme 2015

 

There were signs of life on 15m on Wednesday 30th September 2015.  It was especially pleasing to work a good batch of the regular NA chasers from the second summit of Great Orme GW/NW-070, as it had been a while since my last NA DX from a summit.

Mike 2E0YYY was a stonking signal on 17m SSB from Billinge Hill G/SP-017.  I called him several times for a S2S but he didn't hear me. Maybe the difference in the power levels being used?

It was my first proper outing since being out of action for four weeks with a very unpleasant and stubborn infection in my left leg - hence the gentle walk selected to ease me back into it!  The leg/foot came through the day fine, but I was absolutely exhausted - which I really shouldn't be after this pairing!  No wonder my GP advised me to "do some walks to start building the energy levels back up"!
