On the way back from a weekend trip to Germany, I did two short activations.
One included a new summit for me, the recently added ON/ON-031.
ON/ON-026, Le Mont d'Henri-Chapelle - 354m, 2 points
This was my 6th activation of this summit, it's an easy drive up. Just park at the picnic bench at 50.677059, 5.920479, in the "Rue du Moulin a Vent".
Operating at the bench makes for a comfortable "outdoor shack" !
The log showed 19 QSO, with 7 S2S.
Next was a new summit for me, since on February 1st, 2022, two Belgian summits had been deleted, and two new ones added.
ON/ON-031, Château d'eau de Havelange - 343m, 2 points
Also an easy drive up summit, since the top is very flat all around the water tower.
A suggested operating spot is in a cul de sac road next to the N63 highway, at position 50.353498, 5.343849

There is lots of space for antennas, but there may be a funny smell from all the waste that people dump there ...
Suddenly we got a visitor ... it was Jean-Pierre, ON7ZM, one of Belgium's top chasers. His QTH is only 20 km from the summit. Here he is talking to the YL.
21 QSO's and an incredible 10 S2S contacts made me a happy activator ! ;-)
