This was quite a successful #hamradio #amateurradio #amateurfunk weekend from our 86 m high local hill in #POTA park #DE0315.
I participated in the #IARU #VHF #Contest and made yesterday 50 QSOs. Today I was station sharing with @siwli and made another 15 contest QSOs. In total, I had 65 QSOs on 2m with about 15k points and reached 9 DXCCs and 31 locator squares. ODX was 658 km to F8KID.
RIG: FT-818 + homebrew PA with 40 W out and 4 ele yagi antenna.

Today, I participated in the 2m segment of the Winter Fieldday / Bayerischer Bergtag from my usual VHF hill which is also valid for POTA (#DE0315).
In two hours I made 15 contacts to German and Czech stations using my trusty FT-818 (6 W out) and a 4 element yagi.
With today's activity I accomplished three #HamChallenge|s at once:
• #HC06S (Contest)
• #HC29S (xOTA activation)
• #HC38S (Morse contact)
What great conditions on 2m today!
I participated in the Marconi #VHF #CW #contest for less than three hours. As usual from a small hill in Berlin with counts for #POTA (#DE0315).
I think, it was the first time that I worked Switzerland from Berlin. Many distant stations had booming signals here just if they were only a few kilometres away.
Summary:
Total: 10640
QSO: 31
ODX: 658 km, thanks #F8KID!
AVG: 343 km/QSO
LOC: 19
DXCC: 8
TRX: FT-818
PWR: 6 W
ANT: 4 el. yagi
I shared my VHF station with a second operator and we worked in slots of 30 to 45 min each. While she was contesting on 2m, I did a bit of #POTA as our little hill in Berlin is not only good for VHF but also has the reference #DE0315. Using the #QCX-mini and a small #HF-P1 vertical I made 15 contacts on #20m #CW including one US station.
So quite a successful #hamradio #amateurradio #amateurfunk weekend with 36 + 15 contacts.
