LA/TM-049 Holtankollen

Aage LA1ENA, Halvard LA1DNA, Kjell LA1KHA and I LA1TPA did a joint activation to test our gear before going to UK next month and to check whether it is possible to activate 4 stations at once on the summit.



Everyone picked their favourite band:

LA1DNA 80m ssb
LA1ENA 40m cw
LA1KHA 30m cw
LA1TPA 20m ssb

I couldn't manage to get any contacts on 20m, even with a spot on sotawatch, so I worked some stations on 40m ssb while Aage struggled to erect his antenna. Halvard did not have any luck with his 80m dipole as the swr was very high. We concluded that the problem was due to a faulty solder joint on the braid of his coax feeder.
