| 2025-03-08 15:50:01 | siwli@toot.berlin | 20 | Success! | Followed the call posted by @k8vsy and went outside for a POTA activity today in the south of Berlin (DE-0493) Had my ever first pile-up and after some initial panic managed quite okay.Since I had some Parc-to-Parc QSOs, I guess this counts as #hamchallenge HC29S and HC16S@hamchallenge |
| 2025-04-19 00:49:04 | literatesavant@mastodon.au | 6 | Success! | Reposting this to get credit for Ham Challenge HC29S!I've done a lot of SOTA this week! I was camping with the family in Mt. Buffalo National Park over the weekend, and managed to activate The Horn and The Hump, both 10 pts. Then yesterday I went out for a day of activating with VK3HN and @vk3kr, and we covered Federation Range (8 pts), Mt. Strickland (6 pts), and Mt. Donna Buang (8 pts).I had little or no cell service at all of these, so self-spotting was difficult, and I was wishing I had set |
| 2025-04-27 22:10:16 | df5go@radiosocial.de | 23 | Success! | This week I activated two #SOTA summits and eight #POTA parks. I also activated three mountains for the "Sächsischer Bergwettbewerb" ("Saxonian Mountain Contest"). #HamChallenge #HC29S #hamradio #amateurradio #amateurradio |

| 2025-05-02 21:35:58 | DJ5CW@social.darc.de | 28 | Success! | Early entry for #hamchallenge week 29: During our hiking tour close to Cesky Krumlov today we took a break in OKFF-2717 (Vyri vrch) and I set up my Elecraft K1 and made 45 QSOs on 20/30/40m. It was the first ever activation of this OKFF reference. We were blessed with perfect weather, but conditions were rather poor. #HC29S #hamradio #morsecode |
| 2025-05-19 00:42:26 | yo3gnd@mastodon.radio | 31 | Success! | Let's try a 10fer for : :alex_crazy: I went out today for POTA RO-0109 #HC29S in front of this communist mammoth #HC13S, operated all day on 36Ah #HC36S (ha!). I worked one DX, the ITU HQ, out of today's DXpeds PJ4M, VP8DPD and V73MT #HC07S, 14 DXCCs #HC37s, plus all xOTA #HC16S I heard. I had 20 contacts on CW #HC38S including @YO3AX and @G0TRT. I even heard F4JRC on 6m #HC28S. I fixed my audio card #HC45S and used the antenna I built with the YL #HC33S.Details follow. |
| 2025-07-17 20:32:42 | ei7ijb@mastodon.radio | 9 | Working on it... | For the 29th challenge, 'Make your own xOTA activation.’, I will look to check this out, maybe starting with a Backyards on the Air activation?!! #hamchallenge HC29 @hamchallenge |
| 2025-07-19 17:26:13 | ian@mastodon.radio | 37 | Success! | Ticked off one of the new nearby #POTA parks this afternoon for Support Your Parks Summer 2025 and #HamChallenge week 29.Bands were in a real funny state this afternoon, particularly 20m. I was inaudible to some people and 59 to others at roughly the same distance.HC29S |
| 2025-07-19 22:13:42 | mcdanlj@social.makerforums.info | 17 | Success! | Squeaking in at the end of week #HC29S — I played #POTA today, hunting CW park-to-park, to test my new QRP linked dipole, entirely of my own design. Used a 10oz throw weight to put a slippery UHMWPE line over a branch and pull the dipole up. I like using UHMWPE throw line because it is very gentle to the tree. Then I pulled the arms out to form an inverted V.Took a bit over 2 hours, including faffing about with the new antenna. My first contact was with N2VGA in US-3617 in FL on 15m with 5w, whi |
| 2025-07-26 15:16:05 | mischk@bunt.social | 15 | Success! | I regulary do #POTA, and some month ago I also even did a #SOTA Activation at the Harz mountains.My last activation was on thursday in DE-1023, one of the new POTA parks in Berlin. HC29S HC16S |
| 2025-07-26 15:32:07 | K3LOE@mastodon.radio | 14 | Success! | Week 29 of the #HamChallenge: Make your own xOTA activationI interpreted this as "get a type of place on the air which doesn't already have an established xOTA program."This is PLOTA: Parking Lots on the Air. I semi-regularly try to activate the top of a parking deck at work over lunch. Looking forward to fall 🥵 https://hamchallenge.org/2025/29#HC29S #PLOTA #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #Portable #QMX @hamchallenge |

| 2025-07-28 20:52:25 | g7kse@mastodon.radio | 35 | Success! | Ok so HC29S is an easy one for me. I regularly do SOTA and a local variation for Wainwright Fells called WOTA (https://www.wota.org.uk/). WOTA is far less popular but much easier to squeeze something in with mrs g7kse. Even if a lot of the WOTA summits are a bit dire.Last weeks attempt at Sauna's on the air didn't go well because I forgot to take the coax |
| 2025-07-30 18:27:52 | DL6PL@social.darc.de | 9 | Success! | I am a notorious #POTA activator, so I completed HC29S in 1st of January this year. But I wanted to wait until the actual challenge is due (now overdue):I did an ATNO activation of IT-1233 Biotop Tartscher Bühel as IN3/DL6PL. What a beautiful spot, I can't believe that nobody has been activating it before! #hamradio #amateurradio #Amateurfunk #hamchallenge @hamchallenge |

| 2025-10-04 18:55:20 | DJ3CE@social.darc.de | 15 | Success! | #hamchallenge For HC29S I managed to have the absolute minimum of 4 QSO for a SOTA activation on the Hohloh today before the rain (and heavy wind) started. An EFHW and my QMX served me well, although deep QSB was an issue. Next time I'll try to have a more comfortable operating position…@hamchallenge |
