Today’s Sota was Holywell Hill near Londonderry, GI/SM-022. The approach is from the Irish Republic up the access path to the RTE TV mast. Once at the summit we climbed over the Border fence back into the UK. The trig at the summit is 5 yds inside Northern Ireland – there has been debate over which country it is in. It was a lovely sunny day but there was quite a strong wind and the mast fell over before we even went on air!
We started on 2m an 70cms – calls were slow to start but soon had a S2S with Victor on EI/IN-009 and there were 5 other S2S as well.
It was a very relaxing morning and afternoon and the dogs thoroughly enjoyed it!
