Just realised that my 10,000th SOTA activator QSO took place on Grayrigg Forest G/LD-038 on Sunday. The QSO was with DM1LM on 30m CW. Not something I envisaged when I made number 1 on 2m FM back in 2002!
Might churn out some anorakish stats later if I get chance!

Still no joy with using the “DXCC check” option on that tool though.

Approximately 333ml of soup per activation. That is because my flask is one litre, and it has been taken on pretty close to a third of all the activations I have done. Now my average is about 11 QSOs per activation, so that’s about 30ml per contact.

In reply to M1EYP:
Congratulations on a superb QSO total Tom, I almost took a listen for you this morning but as I was a little late up I gave it a miss.
That’s a very nice tally on 6 Metres too, not a band often associated with SOTA.
I hope to work you again very soon.
73,
