LA/AH-006 Mistberget

 

I visited LA/AH-006 Mistberget for the first time on May 16. Beautiful weather and temperature around 20 C made this activation to a pleasure. 

I parked at 60.4042 N, 011.1439 E. From the parking it was 3.7 km to walk and 255 meter to climb on an excellent forest road.

200-300 meter away from the commercial installation, it is a beautiful viewing point, and easy to erect a (linked) dipole. It ‘s also a 16 meter high old fire watch tower at this position. 

As usual I used mu FT-817 ND and a linked dipole. The conditions were really good. My 5 watts signal was copied from 4Z and SV in the east to K4 (NC) in the west. I also got a new record. As much as 80 QSOs (20 on SSB, 60 on CW) from 20 DXCCs came in the log, all on 20 meter. When studying the log, I wonder if parts of these QSOs were due to a misunderstanding. Some of them belong to chasers who are not registered as SOTA- or GMA-chasers. Instead it looks like they are active WWFF-chasers. What might have happened is that someone has misunderstood my reference and spotted me on the WWFF-cluster. I experienced such a mistake some years ago while activating LA/OL-100, and I was put on the WWFF-cluster as activating LAFF-100. However, it really doesn't matter. Every QSO is valid wheter or not the chaser is registered in the SOTA database.

DXCC: DL, EA, F, G, GM, GW, HA, HB9, I, OE, Ok, OM, PA, S5, SP, SV, W, YO, YU, 4Z.
