Dear all
Reinhard, OE7RGF, says hello to his second SOTA mountain goat these days. Congratulations on this success!
Two and a half years have passed since his SOTA start. So Reinhard has really stepped on the gas! His SOTA tours are excursions into the high Tyrolean mountains, which are out of reach for most of us. He hops there from peak to peak incredibly quickly. Artists like Reinhard also see their mountain world with their hands and fingers and move there as confidently as an ibex. Sometimes Reinhard visits places where not even an ibex can go, only an eagle.
The mountains really are Reinhard’s home. And he is probably one of the very few who also knows the sky between the sun and his mountains. As the head of a flying school, he is very familiar with this perspective. As a result, he usually has no time for SOTA activities during the warmer months of the year. There are also YouTube videos of some of his SOTA trips with beautiful insights into his mountain- and alpine hikes and the mountains of his Tyrolean homeland.
So it was quite a surprise to me that Reinhard is currently for his “goat tour” in the Swabian Alb, a German low mountain range that is well known to many of us. As he says: “There is no drop-off terrain here 
and it’s really nice to reach a mountain via a forest path!”
Reinhard, keep enjoying your life in the mountains. It’s nice that we can always accompany you on the radio and marvel at your mountain adventures on Sotlas or Youtube. Enjoy!

Reinhard hasn’t been here yet for SOTA, hi. A proposal for 3 summits in his home OE7 between the Inntal and Kaunertal valleys. How about it? We were there last year on our summer vacation and marveled at these peaks, which are inaccessible to us, from the hotel only. And OE7 offers many more!
