Hi Andrew, great achievement, well done. Thanks for all the contacts in the past.
Many congratulations Andrew, fellow member of the CABG Club. An excellent achievement indeed. Onwards and upwards! Looking forward to an S2S with you one day.
73 and all the best for the future,

Well what a nice surprise to find these kind thoughts on the reflector when I got home. It took 2H30 to drive home from ST-001 including a stop for fast “food” and a cup of tea to help me drive the last 30 mins.
On the activation this morning at South Black Range VK2/ST-006 I think it was still around zero C at midday. However that did not deter Matt VK1MA who, after activating ST-001, drove over to where I was still operating and congratulated me and presented me with a Mountain Goat pale ale, which went down very nicely…
This was an extended activation and I made over 50 contacts. All good fun, which is what SOTA is…
Thanks everyone and special thanks to the core group in VK1, Andrew VK1AD, Matt VK1MA, Ian VK1DI and Al VK1RX, with more joining that group steadily every year.

Hi Andrew
Congratulations.
Super Goat next? CW Goat?

Thanks Ron, your second idea is what I’m aiming for. I have not qualified on CW consistently which is shameful for anyone calling hinmself a CW operator. So for a while I will be aiming to focus on CW first, voice modes as a secondary theme.
Cheers

Another “target” you might consider or just pick up on the way is 1000 summit points ignoring the winter bonus.
My Goatdom was achieved on 144/432MHz. I am now wondering where I stand in respect of summits qualified on CW.

Well done Andrew, sorry I missed your milestone event.
Awesome job.
