Not even flying ants can’t stop a Summits on the Air Activation

Not even flying ants can't stop a Summits on the Air Activation

Wow – It took some doing to find a place where I could operate amongst the ant swarm! This SOTA activation wasn’t for the faint of heart, and I almost abandoned this one after the requisite 4 contacts. But perseverance paid off. I found an "OK" location to activate from and worked a bunch of eastern stats and even Sweden (there were two Sweden stations calling – only got one).
