One of the very first CW activities I took part in on my cw journey, was the AGCW VHF/UHF contest (144/432 MHz, see https://www.agcw.de/contest/vhf-uhf/ ) and what I'd call 'summer edition' took place again last saturday.

Throughout the last times my efforts for taking part grew a bit and this time I took the chance to also activate the #SOTA entity DM/HE-053, Neunkircher Höhe, and get some points for this years 2m SOTA-challenge.

Given the luggage going by bike was not exactly the very best idea, but weather was nice and I had a fun time meeting well-known(*) ops in cw from the mountain top, especially given I know that one op has had his very first cw-qso with me.

No computer, just a paper-log, IC-705, small Yagi (5/9 Elements) and a #BaMaTech TP-II paddle. And next time I'll bring earphones… :)

Big thanks to all ops in this activity and the #AGCW for organizing!
