Mynydd Sylen, GW/SW-036 - 284m ASL - SN 515 080 - OS Explorer 178 - 1 SOTA point            

SOTA road trip, Day 3 - Monday 3rd August 2020

From Mynydd Llangyndeyrn GW/SW-039, it was a short drive onto Mynydd Sylen, which is virtually a roadside summit.  I parked on some rough ground in a wide gateway then walked up the transmitter access track in the adjacent field to the trig point.

Again, at this time in the morning it was easy to make QSOs on CW on the 17m band.  I knew that later in the afternoon I would need to resort to the magical properties of FT8, but it seemed at this time of day, it was perfectly easy to use the preferred traditional mode.

Eight QSOs were made, again including Jan OK2PDT, who seemed to be doing a good job of working me on nearly every activation on this trip.  The next summit was Pen-crug-melyn GW/MW-036.
