It was June the 29th while I joined a nation wide DX event at CB-Radio from a mountain located in the Teutoburg Forest south of Osnabruck (JO42AE). The tower I went on is called Hermannsturm.
While in a pile-up under ground wave conditions I made contact down to Bavaria and other regions in Germany as well as to the Netherlands.
In the meantime severe thunderstorms aproached close to the tower so couldn't make it far this night. I've heard loud noise from my radio speaker discovering it was static in the air coming down through the antenna.
So I shortly removed the PL-plug from my radio, took a video of what happend, and fast left the tower afterwards to avoid being hit by the appearing lightning.
Warning: Never enter a tower during severe thunderstorm weather conditions !
