Comments:

This year I had the opportunity to operate from the highest place in "Oberschwaben", the "Höchsten". With its 833m asl it has a clear takeoff into all directions.

The QTH, which is used by the members of DARC OV Markdorf A44, consists of a small hut, which is electrically heated. Electricity is switched on by throwing coins into a box; for one german mark you have one hour of power, I don`t know, what you get now for one Euro :-)

The contest itself was a part time entry, I planned to operate mostly during daytime, because of a lack of good low band antennas.
In spite of the small antennas I could work most of the rare DX.

Me standing in front of the Höchsten tower, FB33 at abt 14m
and a lot of VHF/UHF stuff above it
in the background there is a large TV tower, which is 140m high, this would be the ultimative tower !
