Jonaskop Site Visit 2025-12-29

I left my QTH at 08h00 and headed to the Jonaskop high site.

On arrival at the site, the aim was to re-install the East link radio and test communications to Riversdal. Once the radio had been connected and switched on, I called ZS1RB in George, but he could not hear me. I then contacted ZS1AAC in Stilbay and we spoke via the Riversdal repeater with good and clear signals both ways, confirming that the Jonaskop link system was working. The problem now being at Riversdal, Dana Bay or George. On further investigations, it was found that the Dana Bay site was faulty. ZS1RB will be visiting there to sort this issue out.

It was a beautiful day with temperatures predicted at 36  ̊C, a slight breeze made for an awesome site visit. After the test with ZS1AAC, I arrived back home around 14h00.
