On Sunday, September 24th, when it was getting a little cooler, I went to Mt. Ichiya 1,562mJA/NN-222 in Nagano City for SOTA activation.
↓登山口駐車場に車を止める
↑Park my car at the trailhead parking lot.
ここ迄の未舗装林道がかなり荒れていて、数回車の底を擦りながら上がって来た。
The unpaved forest road up to this point was quite rough, and I scraped the bottom of my car several times as I climbed up.
一つ手前の駐車場に止めるべきだったか、、、
I should have parked in the parking lot one block ahead...
↓駐車場から一夜山が見える。
↑Can see the Mt.Ichiya from the parking lot.
↓駐車場にはノギクがたくさん咲いていた。
↑There were a lot of Nogiku blooming in the parking lot.
↓林道を歩きだすと、所々水たまりが酷い。昨日雨が降ったんだな。
↑When we start walking on the forest road, there are a lot of puddles by yesterday raine.
↓途中で良く判らない植物の実？を発見。
↑The seeds？ of an unknown plant were falling.
↓紫色の小さな実が連なった植物も生えていた。
↑There was also a plant with small purple fruits growing in a row.
↓何やら白い小さな花？が連なった植物。
↑A plant with some kind of small white flowers.
↓何かわからないがキノコも。
↑An unknown type of mushroom.
↓こちらは白っぽいキノコ。
↑This is a whitish mushroom.
↓山頂まであと500m。
↑500m left to the top of the mountain.
↓またまた良く判らない植物の実？
↑Is it the fruit of an unknown type of plant?
秋なのでいろいろな物が生えてる？
Since it's autumn, many things are growing.
↓山頂が見えてきた。
↑The mountaintop has come into view.
↓山頂の鳥居と祠と三角点。
↑The torii gate, shrine, and triangulation point at the top of the mountain.
↓早速、アンテナを立ててアクティベーションスタート。
↑Set up the antenna and start activation.
14MHzからCQ開始。
CQ starts from 14MHz.
↓いきなり2局目で、LW2（南米/アルゼンチン）が来た！
↑Suddenly, LW2 (South America/Argentina) called!
18MHzでは、北米からコール。
On 18MHz, called from North America.
21MHzでは北米、ニュージーからコール。
On 21MHz, called from North America and New Zealand.
↓国内向けに7MHzにQSY
↑QSY to 7MHz for domestic QSO.
7MHzもCONDXはまずまず。
CONDX is also good for 7MHz.
SSB局のSPOTを見て、呼ぼうとしたが、マイクが断線してるらしく変調がかからない。
I saw SW3's SPOT on the SSB station and tried to call, but the microphone seemed to be malfunctioning and there was no modulation.
内臓マイクが有るはずだがどこにあるか判らずうまく変調掛けられず断念した。
It has a built-in microphone, but I couldn't find it and couldn't modulate properly, so I gave up QSO.
↓バッタが遊びに来た。
↑The grasshopper came to play.
XYLのV/Uの方は、長野市が近いせいもあり、10局ほどQSO。
Since Nagano City is close, XYL V/U has about 10 QSOs.
↓無線を終わる頃には、到着時によく見えていた北アルプス山頂群が雲の中に。
↑When finished QSO, the Northern Alps peaks were hidden in the clouds.
結構日が差していて暑かったので、お湯は沸かさず、お昼はおにぎりを食べた。
It was quite sunny and hot, so I ate rice balls for lunch.
↓荷物を撤収して下山。
↑I put away the radio and headed down the mountain.
↓下山時にもキノコ発見。
↑I also found mushrooms while descending the mountain.
↓無事に車まで帰還。
↑Return to the car.
今日は思ったより晴れて山頂で少し暑いくらいの一日だった。
Today was a sunny day and a little hot at the top of the mountain.
秋なのでいろいろな植物も見れたし、CONDXも良かった。
Since it was autumn, we were able to see a variety of plants, and CONDX was also nice.
