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.
