SOTA Summit MA-013 Camorro Siete Mesas, Feb 2025

 A straightforward ascent among amazing rock formations, 6 points

 The visitor centre provides some parking, but this was full with cars and coaches when I arrived.  The attendant suggested I park on the road, but to ensure all 4 wheels were off the road.  I found a convenient spot near the start of the trail.


 The trail is well marked and straightforward to the top, requiring only a bit of rock scrambling to get to the summit. The site was busy with school geography trips filling the coaches I saw in the car park.  I saw swvweal groups being lectured on the geological formations, which were stunnung.  Fortunately none of these groups went to the summit, in fact I saw no one for the hour or so I was activating.

I found a handy spot to support my sotapole within a few rocks and supported with the cord against the wind. 

I made 13 SSB QSOs on 20m, no takers on 40m plus 5 on 15m.  3 QSOs were Summit to Summit.

 



 Next activation on Sardinia: IS0/IS-065 >>
