Successful activation! Thanks to all the hunters that made it possible! 
It was short and only phone due to weather but it was really fun! First 16 QSOs are anyway in the bag 🤩
I’m planning to do a double POTA+SOTA activation in Sächsische Schweiz soon, stay tuned!   #pota #hamradio #qrp
My #qrplabs #QDX kit is now complete and I had some fun with the test and tuning functions it offers over serial. What a lovely kit to build!  I’m now looking forward to test it on the air soon! 
Slow but steady progress!  #QDX
Assembly of #qrplabs #QDX in progress! I couldn’t have dreamed for a better Christmas present!  
Time to celebrate! I just received my German callsign and I am now allowed to be back on the air! 🥳 A fixed station at home is out of the question in my current flat, so the beautiful forests, parks and hills around here will be my “shack”  
This was part of a wonderful 2 day hike in "Parco Nazionale dell'Appennino Tosco-Emiliano", were we also climbed Monte Cusna (I-ER001) 2121m. Here I am not sure if I actually made any QSOs...logs must be in some drawer at my parent's place in Italy 😅
I really miss having such beautiful mountains in my "backyard"...
Today I found out that I unknowingly did a SOTA activation before even knowing that SOTA was a thing!
That's me in the picture, freshly licensed in 2015 on the summit of Monte Prado (I-ER002) 2054m.
According to SOTAwatch it was activated only twice, in 2020 and 2021: now I cannot stop smiling, thinking that I was maybe its very first, though unofficial, activator 😊
