I LOVE POTA! I have actually been doing more POTA than SOTA recently because it’s less intense 🙂 Plus, I’m not often backpacking near summits, but I’m often near parks, so it’s more convenient. I hope we can work each other soon!

In Kentucky I think there might only be one sota site. My goal for this year is to learn CW so I can be a little more versatile on the air. Look forward to getting you in the log someday, thanks for all that you do! 73 de KN4PXZ

Thanks Charlie! I’m actually moving to Southern Utah this week, which was one of the reasons for this last trip. But I’ll make it back to Flagstaff on occasion and plan more SOTA trips 🙂

That’s fantastic that you live up there. I’m a bit jealous. I drive up there from Mesa roughly every other week to activate something. Maybe an S2S is in out future.

Thanks Bill! Thank you for the encouragement! I can’t wait to try some more summits — once I’m all moved in! Haha! I emailed you my new address. Thank you for the QSL.

You’re absolutely right! But this is all I have at the moment. The jumper cable was from my home HF rig, and adapting to BNC took some adapting. I will eventually upgrade.

I’m glad I was your first SOTA contact ! You did a great job…I did not know that was your first activation.. I don’t send out QSL cards but for occasions like this I send out a customized SOTA patch and sticker.
I see in the reflector you mentioned to Mike you were moving to Southern UT. Do you want me to send it to your old address or your Utah address ? If Utah, go ahead and let me know where I need to send them through my gmail
Once again congrats…Bill Skerjanc 73’s N0DNF
