Ran an FT817 with q dipole at 12 feet on 6m and 4 ele yagi on 2m at 8 ft.
Operated from a SOTA (Summits On The Air) summit (W7A/MN-147) that I hiked to
with all of the equipment, ropes, and lots of water. Temperature was about 100F
when I called it quits after four hours on the hill...too hot to continue after
that. The hike down the mountain in those temps was "interesting."
This year I had the best 6M opening I have caught so far as a QRP Hilltopper.
Many DX stations gave me a 5x9 with my 5 watts and the dipole, so that was fun.
I got lucky and chose the right time slot to operate this year.
Thanks to everyone who worked me...next year I may have to hike a summit with
an A/C unit?
