How come that’s only your first certificate Karl? Looks like you could claim at least another twelve: 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000, 10000 points.

Also, you can claim certificates for 100, 250, 500 and 1000 chaser uniques, although you are only another 34 from the 2500 certificate for that one too.

And you have Mountain Explorer (Gold) status, so there’s another one.

Maybe Karl’s shack is only so big… and pinboard is rather expensive. :slight_smile:

Well done Karl. I will work you… one day!

Very well done, Karl! You are evidently a Past Master of The Three P’s of SOTA chasing : Perseverance, Proficiency and Politeness.

And I think the certificate category should say “All SSB, 10 watts, Homebrew Antennas and One Hand Tied Behind Me Back” :grinning:

Oh answer question Time.

Money is key factor as what i have spare has gone into development of me station And next one is plat and am only one out of three areas in America or Australian to claim that one. And yes shack is small so when money allows like to apply for rest of them one day.

What i wanted had to be shortened as would not fit and between myself and the Cert manager, we sorted it out. And the three P’s, yes you are right it does help most of the time and goes to prove don’t need a big fancy station. Any one that can get on air with a licence can do it.

This be my first cert and they are cracking and eye catching, its been worth the wait and now have a new tool for when in garden or in shed making antennas etc got me 7" tab now and keep an eye on the Sota Watch pages while away from the shack and videos could be a foot next as I learn how to get the best from me Tab.

Thanks again all
