Tomorrow (September 16th), I’m planning a mountain bike route combined (of course) with HAM radio activity from several nature reserves.
I’m leaving very early in the morning and I will drive to a parking lot in Bielice. Next I will switch to my bike and I will ride to Smrk (1127m asl) SOTA OK/OL-011. Maybe I will have to leave my bike close to the summit and complete my route on foot. Anyway I am going to operate from the summit for about 1,5 hour.
Next I will ride to a tourist shelter in Puszcza Śnieżnej Białki Reserve SPFF-1366 (PL-1623). PGA Award: KV13. It will be before noon, I hope. I am going to operate on bands again for about 1,5h.
Finally I will ride to Nowa Morawa Reserve SPFF-1365 (POTA PL-1626). PGA Award: KV13. The plan is to work on bands for about 2 hours.
It all depends on weather and other conditions. In case of big delays I will give up going to SPFF-1365 (Nowa Morawa) and I will come back to to my car right after activating SPFF-1366. Another option is to give up planned SOTA activation and to visit only two reserves. I will try to do my best to complete the plan but also I will adapt my plan to the current situation. You know – safety first.
Here is the planned route (over 30 kilometers, 720m up/down):
1: Smrk Summit SOTA OK/OL-011
2: Puszcza Śnieżnej Białki Reserve SPFF-1366 and PL-1623
3: Nowa Morawa Reserve SPFF-1365 and POTA PL-1626
Maybe I will do some radio also from my vacation QTH ini the evening. I can’t be sure – probably I will be a little tired.
