LA/TM-018 Hørsfjell

The plan for today was to activate Hørsfjell and hopefully work some 10m contacts. I checked DX Sherlock before leaving home. At the top I put up my 20m Extended Double Zepp antenna (2*13,4m) inverted V style supported by a 6m telescopic pole. At first I had some problems with my FT-817 not giving out any power but I soon realised that this was caused by a faulty control cable to the Elecraft T1 ATU. I removed the control cable and everything worked great!

I worked 7 stations on 10m before QSYing to 40m. Before heading home I worked Tom LB8X and Øystein LA8IY over the LA5GR 2m repeater. We also did some testing on 6m but I was only able to work LA8IY.

Edit: Tom, LB8X, has commented that we also did a QSO on 2m simplex and he is completely right. I must have forgot to log the QSO when we QSYed back to LA5GR repeater.
