More Unfinished Business in Balmaha

When I was doing the West Highland Way earlier this year, the plan was that me and the crew would get to the top of Conic Hill on the first day about 5-ish so that I could get it activated. However, due to a few things we ended up being really quite late and an activation wasn't going to happen.

So this weekend after a long, but enjoyable, few days of seeing people, a wee short hill too get some fresh air and get another cheeky impromptu activation was on the cards.

Set off fairly late in the afternoon and got Endomondo started to track progress. Got to the top in fairly short order due to the nice new path that is now in place. First up was GM7GAX who had been tracking me on Endomondo, so he knew when to pounce and we a good wee chat. Next was MM1AWV shortly followed by GM4COX and we had a chat about different maps amongst other things.

All was going well and said 73 to Jack....and then nothing. Tried CQ a few times, grabbed my late lunch and tried CQ again on 2m and 70cm, but still no-one was biting. It was only going to be a short visit to Conic so tried one last time before packing up and heading back down.

Three stations doesn't make an activation, so for the second time this year on Conic Hill, there is still some unfinished business.
