GM/SS-154 - West Lomond - 522m - 2 Points

In the afternoon I tackled West Lomond. Unfortunately the weather turned bad and when I reached the top I could only see fog and light rain. On the South-easterly side I errected the mast and filled the log until the pile-up ceased. The paper-log was soaking wet :-)

Views! What View? For the first time I used the three pegs I purchased in the flea market at HAM Radio 2009. Their origin is with the NVA (Army in Y2).
