Activated Mount Saint Helens (W7W/LC-001) today with ND7Y and N7LFO. Great fun with 37 QSOs, 20 on 2m! I even got a cross-band QSO when working 40m SSB.
Here's how I deployed the HF antenna.

No photos of the setup but this was the view from #sota summit G/SC-013 Nine Barrow Down near Swanage in Dorset
A quick visit, yesterday to Becerrero near Estepa, 846m asl. What an absolutely stunning location.
Seems to be a little poor for HF due to localised interference but VHF up was magnificent.

Yes! You can chase #SOTA with a remote station! It is polite to state that you are remote and give the location of the remote during the QSO so there's no confusion for the activator.

QRP SOTA: Beautiful day for a hike to the summit of Bakers Mountain! https://qrper.com/2023/09/qrp-sota-beautiful-day-for-a-hike-to-the-summit-of-bakers-mountain/ #SOTA #QRP #HamRadio
With improving weather conditions we hiked up to SOTA DM/SX-014 Lausche/Luž in #Lusatia right on the border from #Germany to the #CzechRepublic (POTA DA-0049 Zittauer Gebirge Nature Park, DLFF-0747 Lausche) and only had rain for about 20 minutes. Strong RFI on the mountaintop made it difficult to work #2m in #fm, but #70cm were nice.

Took myself out for a short stroll.

An absolutely beautiful late summer morning
Good for the spirit!

Heading out for a first activation of a summit southeast of Bend. Long drive short hike 😅
Look for spots, hoping that the HF gods smile on us. #HamRadio #PortableOps #SOTA #SummitsOnTheAir

On my way to #SOTA - I finally made it out! I'd love folk in Scotland who are 2M packet capable to test my portable node. Is there anyone out there this morning who can help?

For once #Facebook has delivered a timely notification of an event *before* the event was to take place.
Unfortunately they're a bit outside of my radio reception so I can't get any #SOTA chaser points.
When I do my triannual check of Facebook I often see really exciting and relevant UPCOMING EVENTS, only to find that they're weeks old. Algorithmic sorting my aching arse. Facebook is trash.
Heavy rain hit my relatives and me while walking in #Lusatia and taking a break for activating SOTA DM/SX-031 Czorneboh. I made it very short on #2m, #70cm in #fm and #20m in #cw. We walked a total of about 7,3 km. #HamRadio #SummitsOnTheAir #sota #truSDX #qrp
