Puig Galazto is a 1025m. high mountain which top that can only be reached after 2 or 3 hours of climbing by a narrow footpath. The crew of the Radio Club Mallorca decided to be QRV from this point for the National UHF contest of 1984. The equipment, as you can see below, was not exactly adequate for mountain toping...hi..and it took us a week of daily climbing the mountain to move all material, including the 2.5 KVa generator.... Were we crazy ?...No, just young !!
Sorry for the poor quality of some pictures, but after so long the negatives were in a sorry state :-((

highest point (1025 m)
The crew...from left to right, EA6VQ (EB6KU at that
time), EA6UW, EB6KV & EA6JD. I should also mention EA6WO who was not
able to be with us because of a sprain in one of the fomer ascensions.
