10 Days Off-Grid: Radio, Trekking, and Digital Detox

Just wrapped up a 10-day solo getaway in Kotlina Kłodzka and it was brilliant. I stayed at a place with zero connectivity – no Wi-Fi, no TV and a “walk-up-the-hill” requirement for cell service thanks to some old flood damage that never got repaired.

The spot is called Zbójnicki Ostęp. It’s run by a well-known caver and is perfect if you like minimalist, nature-focused living.

I spent over a week trekking and biking, always with a rig in my pack or the mobile setup in the car. I was active on the air throughout the whole trip – every day: from the initial journey there to the final leg home. It was the perfect way to recharge.

Initial verification shows I have made over 2100 QSOs. I will prepare some statistics very soon. I will also take care of my logs and they will be uploaded to the POTA/SOTA databases and also they will be submitted to the SPFF and OKFF Managers.I will also prepare my logs for the LoTW upload.

Thanks for all QSOs. It was great meeting so many radio friends every day, from each SPFF/POTA or SOTA location.
