    Good for you Mads! The weather here has turned wet and colder, but I hope in Norway it will be fine and good for camping. I will certainly listen for your call on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. Wishing you success and luck and fun! 73 Adam

    Thanks guys! I hope to work you all during the weekend. The forecast looks ok so I hope I will be able to sleep under the stars and not under a tarp.

    Sean: You've got mail.

    I heard Tom trying to work you S2S and after the struggle I decided to give it a miss....next time maybe?

    LA1HKA/P was worked on 30m CW but I didnt get the SOTA reference assuming he was on a summit?

    Did you camp out? The wind was really bad on Gun Saturday night but we survived. Sean M0GIA

    Hi Sean. Yes, I almost worked Tom but suddenly someone "stole" my frequency. The 40m band was really crowded that day!
    We'll make it next time!

    My guess is that you worked Kjell LA1KHA from LA/TM-032 where he was QRV with Aage LA1ENA.

    I camped out and the weather was great even though it was -5 degrees and windy during the night. I watched the stars above me every time I was awake! Hope to do another overnight activation soon!

    I was wrong Sean. Kjell was on LA/TM-049 when you worked him.

    We endured force 8 gales however strong they are? A couple of times the wind got under the tent and lifted my legs!

    Me and Tom are talking about another overnight activation as well but from where I am not sure.

    Yes I worked LA1KHA/P on 30m CW but didnt get the summit ref....I am not that good yet! If you want a free CW course that IMHO is about the best around let me know.

    Highlight for me was working the Isle Of Wight on 160m with 2.5w SSB....Loads of fun. Sean M0GIA
