ZS6A - Amateur Radio Blog: June 2014
http://zs6a.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, 14 June 2014. I have just returned home after my first attempt at being a SOTA activator (goat). Yesterday, I spent quite a long time carefully packing my kit in preparation for the trip. We awoke before sunrise and SWAMBO and I hit the road early, we arrived at our destination with some time to spare. In fact on the way I stopped to survey yet another summit: GP-002 on the way. I had no choice, but to pack up and return home. Click on images for higher resolution. Perdekop ZS/GP-001 view SE.
