Today's SOTA Activation.
G/SP-002. 30th March 2019.
Altitude 582 M. Grid SE 076045.
My first activation of Black Hill in the Peak District, this was a weekend away for Michelle (my XYL) and myself. We stayed in Halifax to have a break away and I persuaded Michelle to let me activate a summit.
We left the hotel after breakfast at 9 a.m and first of all headed into Halifax to pick up a few essentials, then headed south to Grid SE 0767507264 this was our appointed car park for the day. The walk up to the summit was 1.44 miles and took us 54 minutes as Michelle is not an experienced walker so we took it easy.
The activation was not the best for quantity of QSO's but I did manage two S2S's. G3TQQ/P (Dave) and G4OOE/P (Nick) were both on G/NP-006 and MW3TMX/P ( Jordan) was on GW/NW-013. The weather was fantastic and it made for a good day out. There were plenty of walkers and nearly everyone stopped to ask the usual questions like what are you doing and how far have you managed to talk to.
