M1HAX Mountain Radio

Stopped at Hegdon Hill (G/WB-023, 255m) this weekend while passing. I’m starting to think these small 1 point hills are harder to activate on 2m than they use to be. Or, maybe I’m getting lazy with my alert planning. #hamradio

Operating from storm shelter on G/DC-002 earlier today in heavy rain 🌧️ Less than ideal conditions for this particular radio 😆 #summitsontheair #hamradio

Loving these reports 👌

Great to work you! 🤩

Very good!

A decent 38 QSOs on Scafell Pike today using 2m and 70cms on my FTM100D. Hot and sunny but nothing like August 2022. Thanks chasers! 🍻 🏔️ #summitsontheair #hamradio

Nice, sounds like a great day out ⛰️

Haha, yes, maybe just stick to the SOTA reference ID only 😀

43 SOTA contacts today from 5 small hills: Ysgyryd Fawr, Graig Syfyrddin, Garway Hill, Seager Hill, Worcestershire Beacon Super weather! ☀️ #sota #hamradio

Day two of trip to tick off G/SE region hills. Botley Hill, Detling Hill and Crowborough were all unremarkable drive-ons but Leith Hill was a charming spot (shame about the 🌧️ rain!). #summitsontheair #hamradio

Day one of camping trip to Sussex to bag the small Marilyns in the south east. Five different hills for a total of 5 SOTA points. I think 🌲Chanctonbury Ring was my favourite. Quiet ham bands. #amateurradio #hamr

Closing out the winter bonus season on 15th March with an activation of GW/NW-012 "Cadair Berwyn". 🎯 226 activator points so far this year. Cold but a great shelter at the summit! #sota #portableops #amateurradio

⛰️ Moel Siabod (GW/NW-010) activation on 14th March. Continuing to get to know my Spectrum Communications Slim-G 3/4 wave antenna. Only 6 contacts due to FTM100D playing up - may be time to retire it. #summitsontheair #hamradio

Cadair Idris Hike - GW/NW-009 SOTA (2021) Cadair Idris climbed via the Pony Path from Llyn Gwernan for SOTA activation, completing a circuit with the Fox's Path and enjoying spectacular views.

Great activation of Moel Famau yesterday, plenty of contacts on 2-metres. #amateurradio #summitsontheair 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Yes, it is a very pleasant environment to walk in. Check out Tryfan in North Wales, now that’s really fun 🤩

Waun Fach Hike - GW/SW-002 SOTA (2021) An 811m peak in the Black Mountains, this challenging SOTA activation offers a 21.4km circular route from Cwmdu with stunning Welsh mountain views.

28 SOTA points achieved this weekend in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 enjoying the sunshine. Thanks chasers and summit to summit activators! ⛰️📻 #summitsontheair #portableops #qrp #hamr #hamradio

It’s an Elecraft KX2 with AX1.

Great day SOTA-ing in South Wales today 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 the beautiful sunny weather meant easy mode for the SOTA winter bonus. Two summits for 19km walking and 16 points. Plenty of activity on 70cms and 20m.

Heading up to the SOTA summit of GW/SW-004 Waun Rydd. QRV on 2m/20m soon! #hamradio #sota

Three easier Summits on the Air hills in South Wales ticked off today including a new one, Allt yr Esgair. New “Slim G” 2m antenna and HT combo didn’t live up to expectations but will persevere.. Good conditions on 20m/17m tho.

Made up some BNC patch leads today after several eBay disappointments. The Messi & Paolini products are really top class, great engineering! 🔌🧰 #amateurradio #hamradio

Cheers Dave 😂

Looks like a beautiful operating position 🌲

Thanks 😃 A good day out. ❄️🌬️

Icy and windy Summits on the Air activation of Fan Gyhirych earlier. Didn’t see anyone else on the hills all day. Bit too fresh to setup a dipole for HF this time but continuing to have success with 70cms.

Hiked Fan Brycheiniog GW/SW-003 and Craig y Llyn GW/SW-010 today, cold and icy but not very windy. Lots of contacts on HF-UHF! #hamradio #yaesu #elecraft

A pleasant 23 points for SOTA today hiking around in south Wales. Waun Fach, Mynydd Llangorse and Mynydd Troed all ticked off. A cold wind on Waun Fach as always! ❄️ 🌬️ 🏔️
