I live about 15 minutes drive from the littlest summit in the Southern Pennines region. SP 017 Billinge Hill. It's a bit more than 300 Meters from a car parking spot, but an easy 15 minutes walk. It's a suburban summit and can be busy with mountain bikes, dogs, kids, walkers and what have you. But is a cracking take off for VHF. This has been taken advantage of years ago and there are 5 lattice masts up there spraying out what they do. I've had no success with any handheld TX there, but a Yeasu 857 seems largely to cope on 2 Metres, with the occasional shift up or down 25 when something starts up. I'm enjoying your videos... Cheers. Peter M1BZJ

Nice afternoon out 👌 👍👏👏

Hi James, great video as usual. I've yet to do some SOTAing and was wondering what your tablet setup was and the logging software ?

Thanks. Tablet is an old iPad mini which I had laying around. It's using an app called "RUMlogNG"

you're right James - it's easy because I did that activation on crutches after breaking my leg in a fall on Moel Y Golfa. Eternal thanks go to fellow activator Geoff 2E0BTR who took me to here, Ruardean Hill [middle of a village in Glos] on this trip then Mynydd y Bettws and Mynydd Epynt on a second trip. So crutch-friendly hills. Baby easy are View Edge in G/WB and The Great Orme above Llandudno where a photo of you being apart from the car are advisable. 73 de M0YDH

Well done for activating on crutches David. That's dedication! I hope you've now fully recovered from your accident. If you're heading further south, Win Green (G/SC-008) is equally as easy with a similar distance over reasonably flat ground.
