Our second summit of the day, after a 1.5 hour hike through rocky terrain, Tom-N2YTF and Dave- W2VV operate into the night to get enough qualifying contacts. Notable contacts that night included Tom's first VP9 on 60m. Tom was using a K3 with LiFePO4 battery and Dave used an FT-857 with NiMH cells
This was the first ever activation of W1/HH-003 Ragged Mountain http://www.sotawatch.org/summits.php?summit=W1/HH-003 , which became an official summit September 1st, 2009.
@ Roger: I'll make a SOTA-Fullmoon-Skiingtour of coming winter-season.
@ Tom: well done by night ;-)
