Perfect day for POTA/SOTA activation

It really was a perfect day for a POTA/SOTA activation, beyond expectations: nice weather (maybe a little bit too sunny, HI), optimum temperature (24 degrees compared to 38 at home) and a wonderful view.

I only worked on 20m, CW and FT8. Towards the end, I also launched a few SSTV calls and managed to make one contact.

The power used was 40W, in a telescopic whip antenna with a height of 5m. Being a very light wind it withstood without any problems. I didn't need a tuner, tuning is easily done from the telescopic elements of the antenna.

The activation took approximately 5 hours, and the two 16Ah Li-Ion 3S batteries ensured my work throughout the entire period, during which I managed to make 88 QSOs, most of them in CW (62 QSO in the first two hours),  due to the very high interest in SOTA activations.
