LA/TM-049 Holtankollen

After the Norwegian HF Traffic Manager confirmed that we are allowed to use 5MHz I decided to do my first 60m activation on Holtankollen. I knew Kjell LA1KHA was on the summit and I worked him from the car when I left home. Half way to the summit I met Kjell on his way down. On the summit I erected my trusty 88ft doublet and crossed my fingers when I pushed the tune button on 5MHz for the first time.

I worked 9 stations from G, GW and GM on 60m before QSYing to 40m. I worked 8 more stations on this band before I tried some calls on 80m.

Thanks to LA2FKA for spots on DX Cluster.

144MHz: 1 QSO
5MHz: 9 QSOs

DXCCs: LA, G, GW, GM, DL, ON, OE, HB
