Mallorca 2023 Day 10

On this day, we first visited the Mirador de Colomer on the North-West coast, near the city of Pollença. It's a nice lookout on the way to Far de Formentor (but we didn't visit the lighthouse this time).

Those that have been there will recognize the SOTA summit Fumat ( EA6/MA-048) in the distance.

From the Mirador , it's only a mere 2.5 km drive up to the summit of 

SOTA EA6/MA-077 Talaia d'Albercutx

Parking space near the summit is at 39.928513, 3.117606 (don't stop at the buildings at 39.928199, 3.117925, you can drive just one hairpin bend further).

In 2017 I didn't climb the stone tower on the summit, but since this time the YL could watch over our backpacks, I took my chance and climbed the tower for a beautiful view over the area.

NNE view, in the direction of Far De Formentor and Fumat.

SSW view in the direction of Port de Pollença and Alcudia, and the VOR installation near the summit.

The area around the tower was very busy, lots of people needed to take endless series of "selfies" ... so I found a spot a bit away from the tower, where I could easily setup and operate quietly under my umbrella :-)

I made 30 QSO's here, and that included 1 S2S and 7 ON stations.
