Tryvannshøgda, LA/OS-003

It has been a long while since my last activation; almost 8 months. That's a long time. Therefore, it was fun to activate Tryvannshøgda today (and as an extra bonus, season points were also obtained). I had planned a short activation before I had to go to job.

I started on 30 meter CW. The conditions were quite bad with a lot of QRM. After three QSOs, the band became dead. I then QSYed to 20 meter SSB, but no QSOs were obtained (even though I had spotted myself). Thus, I QSYed once more, this time to 40 meter CW. The conditions on this band were good, and I worked 14 more QSOs before I had to go QRT and go to work.

It was a relatively cold wind and the temperature was around 0C. My only problem during the activation was that I started to freeze after a while, so it became difficult to operate the CW paddles, hi.
