Muizenberg Peak ..... SOTA ZS/WC-064



Muizenberg Peak (507m)
(SOTA link)


The second peak of my circular "three peak" activation hike in March, 2008.

The photos below were taken on a subsequent hike with Dennis, ZS1TC in May 2010. Being rather unfit we took it easy and only activated the one peak. Our route was from the parking lot up along the gravel track, past the naval antennas and onto the Muizenberg ridge. The homeward leg was roughly along the same route.

ZR1AAH . Things getting a bit "edgy" after taking a short cut on the Muizenberg ridge!






I am sitting among the rocks on the ridge operating my FT817 wth a telescopic vertical antenna on 40m via a Elecraft T1 tuner.









ZS1TC. Looking over False Bay with Cape Hangklip in the distant background.

Dennissss',(ZS1TC), B25 doing stirling service in the mountains! A heavy beast to carry around but works well.








ZR1AAH, relaxed operator, admiring the view !
