Back to Picota EA1/CT-101 for more #sota fun this morning. Tried the #elecraftAX1 on 40m for the first time, but wouldn’t get a good tune - suspect there is a longer radial I forgot about. Weirdly wouldn’t tune on 20m either, even though it did fine in the same spot a few days ago? After some faffing resorted to EFRW on the old fortifications wall and ground. Few contacts round Europe and some S2S action. Home via the coffee shop.

Turns out the next accommodation on our Spain holiday also has a #sota summit a short hike away, what are the chances? ;-)
This time La Picota EA1/CT-101. #elecraftkx2 and #elecraftAX1 combo and #morsecode getting me a few contacts round Europe on 20M and 17M.
Hope to be back there again before our week is up.

Another #SOTA activation from my San Diego trip a couple of weeks ago. W6/CC-039 Viejas Mountain delivered with great views and a 2 room summit shelter replete with rock table! #elecraftkx2 and #elecraftAX1 combo delivered a DX chase from F4WBN and a S2S with wG0AT, whose YouTube videos inspired me towards #CW SOTA!
