On all summits, Jimmy concentrated on 2m FM while I operated on HF bands, mainly
using CW.

There were, I’m afraid, two epic fails in
an otherwise splendid expedition. Fail one was a preparation fail. I
used to have a bit of a reputation for these, but I’ve been studiously
thorough in recent months. In fact I overdid it on this occasion.
It caused no harm to my activation, but it annoyed the hell out of me!
Loading my car, I grabbed the big drybag containing my tent and poles.
I also got a lightweight sleeping bag, a roll mat and a pillow - everything
I needed. I thought the experience of heavier-than-anticipated weight
on my back for the ascent was simply down to me not doing an overnight camp
for a good while.

When I got to the summit and started
unpacking things, I found that the drybag containing my tent and poles, also
contained a sleeping bag, roll mat and pillow! I’d rationalised them
all into a single bag last year - and forgotten I’d done it. I was
cross that I’d carried up extra weight unnecessarily - and downright fuming
that I’d have to carry it all back down again in the morning! The
other error came the following morning!

The VHF QSOs and the commencement of HF
ops were separated by an interval of just over one hour while I pitched the
backpacking tent, laid out my sleeping stuff and erected the 20m QWGP
antenna. Three of those four HF QSOs were with US stations which bode
well for the night ahead.

That mistake was when I did my final
FT4/FT8 stint of the morning. I was somewhat surprised not to attract
any callers, I must admit, but I accepted it and moved onto a different
mode. A wasted hour, but otherwise it had been a very fine activation.
It was only when I went to change mode - just after the tablet ran out of
charge after a rather impressive four hours of use - that I noticed that
FT-817 mode was set to USB and not DIG! Annoying - but not the end of
the world. Apologies to the chasers that tried for me on digital!
Undoubtedly, the stand-out feature of the
overnight activation was the 62 transatlantic QSOs - very satisfying indeed
with 5 watts QRP and a home-made simple antenna. The call from FY5KE
(French Guiana - South America) just after 8am local time, with big signal
and excellent audio, was considerable surprise - but a welcome one.
It was lovely to wake up on my 52nd
birthday with a splendid dawn view across to Shutlingsloe from my summit.
And then not quite so lovely to have the notorious naked jogger turn up on
summit and insist on having a “natter” with me as I operated, with him stood
in the open porch of my tent! I looked the other way - towards the back wall
of my tent, and was abrupt in my side of the conversation, in the hope that
he would quickly clear off (polite version) - which fortunately, he did.
Later birthday celebrations with the
family involved beer and steak - lovely! A lunchtime pint with
Marianne and Liam at the Egerton Arms, Chelford was followed by lots of
lovely (mainly liquid) presents at home, and a steak dinner al fresco!
