This year (2025) we decided to spend our summer holidays in Beskid Śląski – southern part of Poland, full of beautiful hills. The location is Brenna, very picturesque mountain town. This is a family trip and first of all we are doing trekking trips or bicycle rides. But still there is some time for radio activity…
Our QTH is located in the SPFF-0070 (Landscape Park of Beskid Śląski) and also POTA PL-1320. Locator: JN99KR. So starting from July 15 I am active on all possible bands, mostly on CW, using a Xiegu G90 (20 Watts) and wire antennas. The very last day of the operation is July 25.
I am also going to activate SPFF-2223 (POTA PL-1976) which is also a SOTA SP/BZ-035. Locator: JN99JQ. This operation is expected to take place on July 21 or 22 in the second part of the day (starting at about 11:30 UTC for about 2 hours). I will be using a (tr)uSDX (5 Watts) and an EndFed antenna.
Another expected operation will take place somewhere between July 22 and 25. It will be also SPFF-0070 but the location will be SOTA SP/BZ-054. Locator: JN99JQ. Again it will be QRP with a (tr)uSDX (5 Watts) and an EndFed antenna.
Below is G5RV installed in the holiday QTH.
