Activating ZS/KN-168 Qulashe November 2025

 An easy and quiet summit accessible by car worth 6 points

 This was the last of 3 activations of the day so I chose one that I could drive close to.  I was able to drive very close on the rural dust track with my small hire car and park close to the summit:

 A short steep ascent over grassy farmland took me to a grassy/rocky summit with plenty of space for activating. 

I used the trig point to attach my sotapole which made it easy to change orientation to point towards Gauteng or the Cape.  I needed this flexibility as band conditions were terrible due to solar activity and a recent Coronal Mass Ejection!

 

I only just managed to activate this summit with 4 confirmed QSOs in the log all on 40m.  CQ on 30m and 20m did not provide any responses.  All contacts were struggling to copy and it took me 40 minutes to log these 4.
