Congratulations Peter, great work!

Edit: I notice you did it in less than two years… lots of miles and lots of walking!

Many thanks to all for the congratulations.

I took about 3 weeks shy of 2 years to get there, helped by a concentrated effort over the Easter weekend and the following few days: 150 points in 7 days of activity over a 9 day period.

I attempt to get out regularly for some walking in the hills. I also try to combine any road trips with some radio activity, if time allows. This has allowed me to Activate for SOTA and also for our local National Parks award.

Now that the MG milestone has been achieved, I should think about spending some more time on the higher bands…

Cheers,

Peter VK3PF
