Mynydd Eppynt, GW/SW-018 - 478m ASL - SN 961 464 - OS Explorer 188 - 1 SOTA point            

Wednesday 20th April 2022 - Mynydd Eppynt GW/SW-018 & Pen y Fan GW/SW-001

Our first full day in Mid Wales.  After breakfast from the bakery in Builth Wells, we headed first for Mynydd Eppynt, situated on a M.O.D. firing range.  The red flags were flying meaning that live firing was in progress.  There is no permission to access the true summit here on the range, but the activation zone extends to the main road the passes over the shoulder of this broad hill.

I operated from usual roadside spot within the activation zone.  A couple of summit-to-summit contacts on 2m FM, then mainly on 17m CW with one on SSB.  Next we made for the lovely Pen y Fan GW/SW-001 in the Brecon Beacons.
