►OM/ZA-107, Javorské, 860m
July 3, 2026: I stayed in Wisła for a couple of days with my Ukrainian friend Vlad Polozhay (3Z3GF / UT3GF) to go a series of activations in the region. The plan for this day was to activate 3 SOTAs in 3 different countries (SP/OM/OK) and we made it!!
On July 3 we started early morning at SP/BZ-060, Kiczorki (Trojaki), then went to OM/ZA-107, Javorské, and finished at OK/MO-024, Girová. All three summits were successfully activated by both of us. The weather in the morning was not so good - it was raining with short breaks in the whole region. We parked the car here (at 49.460476, 18.881531), but if you have a car with higher clearance than of a regular sedan, then you can go farther and park at 49.460554, 18.878118. Then there is a 1.5km hike to reach the activation zone of the summit (at around 49.456068, 18.873871), but in this place HF is possible only, while VHF conditions are bad there (forest + lower altitude). So, we preferred to hike 1km more to reach to the very top, with superb views and where VHF is possible. There's also a nice shelter there with a table and everything. Fortunately, after a while the rain stopped and the sun came, so we could finally have a nice weather as well. The reports for the other 2 summits - in Poland and in Czechia are here and here.
We worked QRP. Equipment used: coil shortened end-fed antenna (for 10m-40m), transceivers - Vlad used a FX-4CR (20W) and mine was a Yaesu FT-818nd with a small amp (18W).
