SOTA summit IS0/IS-065 Bruncu Matzeu Activation 18/5/25

 A straightforward summit worth 6 SOTA points

 This was my first of 10 SOTA activations on the island of Sardinia in May 2025.

I drove to Ulassa, parked up as far as the road would go and started walking up the well marked and signposted trail.

 

The ascent was straightforward and I was soon set up and calling CQ on 20 metres.  The summit has a few different activation site options, all at roughly the same height, but with plenty of trees and shrubs it limits the open space for a large HF antenna.

 

 

 I held my Sotapole in place with bungees around a rock, only partly extended, and fortunately the wind was light so everything stayed in place.

 

I managed 19 QSOs on 20m, then just 1 on 15m.
