Friday 28th December 2018 - Gaulfest - Pegwn Mawr GW/MW-006 &
Beacon Hill GW/MW-009
What a brilliant day out. With the exceptionally mild December weather,
and two activator uniques on offer, even Jimmy M0HGY was prised out of his bed.
To be honest, we were both flabbergasted that after 16 years of SOTAing, there
remained feasible daytrippable outings that involved ATNOs. We kicked off
with Pegwn Mawr GW/MW-006, which was a very tame summit. An easy 20 minute
stroll up a windfarm access track to the trig. The turbines were really
noisy though!
This was where we had the most fun. We both made plenty of S2S, on 2m FM,
20m SSB and 20m CW, and several that were different to each other! Jimmy
made a total of 18 QSOs - 12 on 2m FM and 6 on 20m SSB. This included 6
S2S: GW4VPX/P on GW/MW-001, M3TMX/P on G/WB-010,
GW4TQE/P on GW/NW-021, MW6OVW/P on
GW/SW-041, SQ9MDF/P on SP/BZ-030 and
SQ9NOT/P on SP/BZ-030. I made 23 contacts - 9 on 20 CW, 5 on 20m SSB and 9
on 2m FM. This included 4 S2S: MW0PLA/P on
GW/NW-012 EA3HP/P on EA3/BC-020, GW4VPX/P
on GW/MW-001 and M3TMX/P on G/WB-010.
The sheep were very tame and kept homing in on Jimmy. One in particular
would not leave him alone! We then moved across to
Beacon Hill GW/MW-009.
