What the Braunsberg sees
A paved car park at 343 metres, right at the summit, road all the way up, eleven kilometres to Bratislava: a site can hardly be better placed. The horizon says otherwise — the south-east lies wide open, and towards Germany the Vienna Woods sit almost exactly on the line of sight.
Two times two Yagis on the Feuerkogel
The horizon was calculated, so were the stations. Now the installation: two stacked 12-element Yagis, one fixed on Germany, one on the rotator — and the question of where at the Feuerkogelhaus a mast may stand at all, when people walk on the right, paragliders take off on the left and the mountain drops away behind. Plus the comparison with the Stuhleck.
What the Stuhleck sees
The highest peak of the Fischbacher Alpen has a road up to the hut and a car park on the summit. 360 bearings, 800 kilometres, 3,215 contest logs, plus the laser scan for the hut next door — and a horizon none of the five sites before it has. Only Germany lies half behind the Rax.
Where the stations really are
The horizon was the first question, the other stations are the second. 3,215 contest logs from two years say where the antennas on the Feuerkogel have to look — and why the second one does not point at Prague.
