COOL !!!

I have added that call sign to my alerts.? Perhaps I¡¯ll catch them too.? I served in the U.S. Army on 4 continents, I¡¯ve activated SOTA and POTA in a dozen countries.? But like you, I cannot imagine vacationing there.? If I want to see polar bears and penguins I¡¯ll go to the zoo! ?I¡¯m certain there is likely some exotic and extreme winter sport the ¡°rich and famous¡± can do there.? I ain¡¯t rich and famous!? I saw -40¡ã F on the Meiningen Gap, and _140¡ã F in Wadi Al Batin.? The W-TX and S-NM borderland suits me just fine.? I don¡¯t even own a serious winter coat anymore.?
?? Since retiring from the Army my travels have been limited to the USA and Europe¡­.. and June in the low mountains of northern Bavaria is cold enough.

Thanks for sharing that.? I¡¯ll settle for a QSO, and I¡¯ll pass on the vacation plans.

Worked this station yesterday evening on 17M.? It is now QRT.? Sigs were S-7, and was able to make contact QRP when no others calling.

?

This is an ice runway used by commercial tourist jets operated by a British tour company.? Have no idea what tourists do there after landing.? Doesn¡¯t seem to even be a smoking lounge ?
