OE5XFK is located at ~ 1,550 meters
on a mountain I had frequently occupied when a kid. Hiking in autumn & downhill racing in winter.
Early on a way larger than expected rock rolled over my left foot during my geologic scouting phase there. Followed by unguided downill skiing

This mast should be the location of OE5XFK

For obvious reasons this antenna is nicknamed "Fischgräte" = fishbone. Beyond the blocks the first row of the Alps. The fishbone, however points to the next row of mountains hidden in the mist. SSW from my provisional qth.

And here she is, a beauty !
2m/70 log periodic foldable telescope constructed by DL4KCJ from Bonn, designer legend of stealth antennae. Bonn is the former capital of Germany. When I asked Helmut about his early customer base he told me "every second embassy".

Third phase of construction. Alchymic marriage of the swiffer broomstick and the antenna mounting bracket.

The Swiffer pad and the handle came off, the broomstick and the umbrella holder are a perfect fit. The piece I brought with me is going through a metamorphosis

Knew I would be stuck on this same spot, I had run away from 50 years ago. Brought one of these 3 items with me , the other 2 are objets trouvés.

Any ideas what I could be after with this poor setup around a fuqing swiffer pad?
