My good friend Rich, AC7MA just made Goat on W7W/CH-206. Rich and Bill (WA7NCL) took me on my very first SOTA summit and showed me the ropes. I couldn’t have asked for better SOTA mentors!
Congrats Rich! Looking forward to many more SOTA hikes with you on the way to MGx2 =)
BTW: Rich is one of the engineers that developed the KX3 and KX2. There are a lot of activators that carry a bit of AC7MA with them on their activations.
(If you listen carefully to your SOTA backpack, you might now hear, “Baaaaaa, Baaaaa.”*)
*Yes…we all know that mountain goats don’t really say, “baaaaa.”
It’s been a lot of fun and I couldn’t have done it without great chasers. I feel like many of you have become familiar friends over the last few years. Thank you all !!! I’m looking forward to more summits, and also the ability to operate from home so I can begin chasing too.
