Asked by a few will I be entering? Yes is simple answer. I expect will be QRV 20m and 40m,maybe 80m SSB and CW, running win-test to FT817 and 6BTV or G5RV and an SDR RX. I will have a new audio interface this year and hope to record BOTH sides of the QSO's (only managed the audio in last year!)
The new workshop is 99% there whilst the shack is a bit of a dump right now until I fix that up so I might operate from the workshop... feeder dependant of course.
I know contests are notfor everyone but hope tosee you in the contest.
Note that the 72 QRP marathon is also on so get on the airand work some qrp.

Operating location from a top in alps c2600m
Now this was a perfect SOTA location, I stayed on top overnight and used the flag pole to my right to support a 40m/20m dipole, you can see the fixture I connected to, the little ring clamp, as soon as the cable car stopped for the night out came the radio gear, it even snowed! If I had taken 2m yagi would have been amazing location as line of sight was > 80miles, the Eiger and Jungfau (Bernese Oberland group) are in the photo over my right shoulder. Temp dropped to below minus 15 but the morning operating the grey line was fun 100 or so QSO SSB qrp as HB9/M1KTA/P.
