To start the new year and the new SOTA season we decided to head West to Fan Brycheiniog from the Llyn y Fan car park.\u00a0 It was a typical January day in the Beacons, not actually raining but not dry either.\u00a0 We were in cloud from about half way up so took the opportunity to try a bit of nav practice once up onto the flatter section above the Bwlch.\u00a0 On the way up we heard Allan GW4VPX calling from MW-011 and managed to work him from the HT for the first chaser points of the season.\u00a0 It was quiet at the top so we bagged a couple of seats in the shelter.\u00a0 As we arrived I heard GW4TQE calling CQ SOTA so bagged a quick S2S with him up on NW-042 again from the HT on 5W.\u00a0 It seemed busy on the bands so rather than set up the station we just worked from the HT and managed to put ten entries in the log.\u00a0 The descent was uneventful until about halfway down when I heard an EI calling CQ and managed to work Martin, EI3GO from central Ireland.<\/p>\n
