SOTA Activation Tuesday

Kamiak Butte
A brutal glacier-covered, highly technical climb,....  OK, its a nice park with well defined path and sunny beautiful Palouse weather.  But it is a SOTA peak.  Not much mystery to it, This is my 4th activation W7W/WE-022.  Here I am, calling CQ CQ SOTA


My settup is a backpack radio IC-703, antenna AlexLoop, power 13.2V A123 Lithium battery from buddipole. 10 watts power, SSB phone





Four contacts on 20 meters, none on 40 meters.  Next time I should try a weekend, but unfortunately I usually work weekends.  Thank you Gary and Martha Auchard, Thomas Taylor, and Richard Pierce.

It was a lovely walk, about 70 F, breezy.
Until next time
