Sota Summit G/SP-017 Billinge Hill - Sunday 21st April 2013 - A tail of two Summits ! Part 2


We found a parking place, just past the 'old vicarage' and then a short walk on to the top of Billinge Hill. This is a one point Sota Summit and had some nice easy access.

On our way to the top of the Sota Summit.






Once you get to the top you will find the 'trig point' and a square 'folly' type building - here is a nice panoramic view from the top.




So we set up our Sotabeams and 40/80m dipole - and started to operate, once again we had quite a bit of QRM on 70cms / 2m /4m.

Here is Denis working 40/80m :




And Mick 2E0MKE - working on 2m :





We had an excellent day, despite the problems with QRM, thanks everyone who answered our CQ called - quite a few people on 40/80m wanting WEB Squares. 

Look out for us on another Sota Summit soon ! - please note that reports from SWL are always welcome.
