Anatema - YU/IS-112 - 325m 1 point
After activating YU/IS-113, the next summit to visit was Anatema
YU/IS-112, just 6 km to the south. We went to the village Rečica at the foot of Anatema, and then uphill following the road spotted on Google Earth images few days ago. The hill is covered with sand (most probably Danube alluvium) and the road is in fact a deep trench in the sand. Unfortunately, in the vicinity of the village all the way along the road is a garbage dump. Near the hilltop, we left the car and went searching for the very summit. It was hidden somewhere in a dense shrub vegetation, and since the hilltop is flat, we decided to look for some more comfortable location elsewhere in the activation zone.

Finally, we found a nice shady spot, without dense vegetation. I erected the 14 MHz vertical, and spotted myself. A steady stream of chasers ensued, and among them
EA1AER/P from Coto Alto EA1/LE-097. 25 minutes later, after 16 qsos, the stream of chasers subsided so we made a lunch break. An hour later, we concluded that it is still early to head home, so I decided to give 40 meters a try. My wife helped me to extend the doublet between a tall tree and the fishing pole. S53XX/P on S5/TK-029 answered my call for a new S2S qso. Up and down the band I made some more contacts, 10 in total on 40 meters. Then it was time to pack and head home.
