Tom - KB9ENS<p>While everyone else on the highway was headed to some coach fella place, I took Friday off and activated the never before activated remote summit W6/SD-494 aka “2992”. The desert is HOT during the day so I set off super early and got back to the van before the real heat set in. 10 contacts in the log. <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/sota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sota</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hamradio</span></a></p>

Heili K<p>Unia brittiläisistä sotilaista. Uni ei ollut ahdistava, mutta en kyllä enää nukahtanut uudestaan kun alkoi kaikenlaiset maailmantilaan liittyvät asiat pyöriä päässä. Harmittaa että Putinin taktiikka saada eurooppalaiset sekaisin ja kiistelemään keskenään, myös maiden sisällä onnistui. Ja nojaaminen liikaa mihinkään suurvaltaan on riskaabelia kuten olemme nähneet vallan ja arvojen vaihtuessa. Pienten pitäisi vetää yhtä köyttä.

Paulo CT2IWW<p>Returned to the hills for some SOTA action, this past weekend, in the good company of Rui, CT7ALW. Activated CT/MN-004 and CT/MN-044, without much fuss. On the first one, a nice doggo from the village showed us the way, but decided to switch to another team (hikers) when no food came his way. My new shinny orange HT was a major fail, on the other hand, easily overloaded.<br><a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/sota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sota</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/SummitsOnTheAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SummitsOnTheAir</span></a></p>
