Correct person. Still looking for the second connection to SOTA though - not photography.
KH6/HW-001 Mauna Kea has the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) on it.
M1EYP: Not part of Martynâs intended answer, but a brilliant find nonetheless!
James Clerk Maxwell (1870) âOn Hills And Dalesâ was
âan early contribution to the mathematics of topologyâ.

[edit: just found a copy - very interesting - thank you!]
M1EYP: OK John, with your earlier answer alluding to his electromagnetic equations, it looks like you have it!
They are all moorland summits. Rising, large flat areas of land - high expanses of land. Not sure what the term is to describe this (if there is one). But all three summits fit this description. Not much of a one word answer, but I am giving it ago !
Jonathan
M1EYP: Youâre almost there! If you can find that one word to describe these, and the originator, then youâve got it!
Spot on!
With the Christmas Quiz 2016 about to be launched, do we have any answers to the un-answered questions on the Christmas Quiz 2014. There questions are 4, 12, 27 and 35. You can see what these question are on the question thread here Christmas Quiz 2014 - #5 by M1EYP. Maybe even the authors of these questions can answer them.

Just found out that my dad Tom M1EYP is the author of all 4 unanswered questions, if no-one answers them in the next few days, he will publish the answers himself.

27⌠The 3 most dullest/boring hills in their respective countries.
M1EYP: Correct, as nominated by the original Relative Hills of Britain book.
If GM/CS-017 is the dullest hill in Scotland, then the person describing it so hasnât been up many hills!
Can you check there isnât a typo in Q. 35 please?
The 3 left:
-4. What are the complementary distinctions of G/LD-002 and G/LD-038?
Erm, I canât remember what it was I noticed about these two when I wrote the quiz. Hopefully it will come back to mind in the next few daysâŚ!
-12. If M1EYP was 1st, M0HGY was 2nd some 8 minutes later, while MI0JST and GI4ONL were equal third 1,428,728 minutes after that, then who is fifth?
Well, at the time of setting the quiz, no-one was fifth. But we now know that it was Bill G4WSB.
-35. Whatâs the summit?
Pendle Hill â 7354 â 6982 - Shining Tor - Sheep Rock Mountain - Jones Mountain â 2166 - 6982
Actually, ISTR this was Richard G3CWIâs question. Iâm pretty sure I solved it at the time (eventually) but it was ridiculously difficult! Anyway, the solution is View Edge G/WB-018.
There is no summit 2166! Or maybe itâs been renamed since then. Iâd got ervdvw?v for the name so far but needed 2166 to make the guessing easier.
Yeah, 2166 doesnât seem to relate to anything! But backtracking, it is G, which on CWIâs backwards number system is 20. So it must relate to a summit with âXX/YY-020â reference. VE7/EK-020 fits the bill, and is 2166m ASL. I wonder if itâs name was merely â2166â when Richard made this question?
The particularly unseasonal part of Richardâs question was that Z=1, Y=2, X=3, W=4, ⌠etc!!!
The summits in the question are all sp summits
sp-005 pendle hill
sp-018 7354
sp-022 6982
sp-004 shining tor
sp-022 Sheep Rock Mountain
sp-023 Jones Mountain
??-??? 2166

gives ervdvw?v
But without 2166 I decided Iâd spent 5mins and wasnât noodling away for longer unless that summit was confirmed. The fact I had 3 âvâ in my list was enough to say that if it was a European name then the âvâ must be an âeâ as that is the most common letter, but only if 2166 was an SP summit was it worth going further.
Perhaps I should have noodled more instead of make a pot of coffee

Yeah looks like Richard should have put â7107â, which is the ânameâ of W7U/SP-020 - which is 2166m ASL.
Perhaps it was because they both have sister summits adjacent to them called Pike - Scafell Pike and Grayrigg Pike. However, that sounds like it doesnât have enough arithmetic in it for one of your questions. 
I do!
Do I win any extra points for that? 
Merry Christmas es HNY!! 73
I see I have used the word âcomplementaryâ in that question, with the spelling suggesting that something about the two summits makes something or adds up to something! So you may be correct in suspecting a mathematical element Gerald.
Well the height difference is approximately complementary, i.e. Scafell Pike is higher than Scafell by roughly the same amount as Grayrigg Pike is lower than Greyrigg Forest. But itâs not spot on, even measuring to the nearest metre, so Iâm not totally convinced this is it.
Martyn M1MAJ
No, definitely not that - though I still havenât remembered what it was⌠
