On June 23, 2017, N0TA, John, activated W7Y/EW-020, Ring Mountain, in Southeastern Wyoming, and achieved Mountain Goat Status.
I have been on numerous joint activations with John, and I can say he has genuinely earned his MG points! We have covered some amazing terrain in Colorado!
On June 23, John was with K0FTC, also John, on Ring Mountain. I had the pleasure of contacting both of them S2S on 14 MHz CW, across about 60 miles of high, mountainous terrain, from W0C/PR-109, Apiatan Mountain. Signals were strong, despite the non-line-of-sight path.
I wish John success as he continues to activate some of the best SOTA peaks available to us!
Congratulations John on your MG Status!
I am glad I was able to work you on your GOAT Summit on 6/23.
A nice 559 into WPA, W3 land.
Looking forward to more.

Congrats John! You’ve activated an amazing number of peaks this past year. I’ve enjoyed chasing you when I can hear you which is sometimes tough being so close. I know you’ll continue to activate peaks here in Colorado for many years to come OM.
