Creag Dhubh - 2nd Activation

26th February 2005

GM/CS-093 - Creag Dhubh - 658m - NN322824 - 2 points
QSOs: 80m CW - 3, 40m CW -1

It was nearly exactly a year after activating this hill that I was up here again. Last year this was the site of my first CW QSO for nearly 20 years. This time I activate it with 4 CW QSOs on 80m and 40m.

I headed up from the A86 straight up through Tulloch Wood and steeply to the top. This is the quickest way up but punishingly direct. Last year's route from the Chapel is easier going. There were some sizable patches of quite deep soggy snow to plough through but the weather was benign giving nice views. I used a slinky special inverted L and was pleased to work GM4CXP, GM0AXY, G4KKI & OK1DEC between 0800 and 0900.
