We were expecting a some nice weather this week with temperatures up to 10 degrees, so time to dust off my backpack and do a short WWFF activation. At 10:30 on the morning I took the train to the city of Nijmegen. From the train station it's a short walk to the river Waal and the activation zone, PAFF-0048. I found a nice spot close to the water with views to the bridge and the city in the distance.
I had a good start on 40 meters with more than 20 contacts in the log in a short time. Then on to 30 and 20 meters. Propagation on 20 seemed very good, QSO's with 4Z4DX, AE1T en WK2S with only 5 Watts output. 48 QSO's in the log after one hour! My antenna was 14 meters of wire attached to a 7 meter Spiderbeam pole with 2 ground radials of 5 meter long.
