Yesterday 24 March Andrew VK1AD reached the triple goat score of 3000, activating Sam Hill in Victoria Australia.
I look forward to many more joint activations, the confusion we cause is somewhat amusing.
Andrew has activated since 1st Feb 2013 when vk1 joined the SOTA world. He was association manger for those first years and is regarded as the source of info and help, in antennas, feedlines, radios and navigation. The VK1 SOTA mailing list on groups.io has a lot of content contributed by him.
Join me in congratulating Andrew on his progress, ever upward.
Marvelous effort to reach 3000 Activator points, Andrew! It’s always fun to hear you on a summit with your fellow Andrew and (slightly confusing) callsign sound-a-like.
Thank you Andrew (VK1DA) for your comments and recognition of a 3k milestone achievement, I appreciate the sentiment.
Thanks all for the kind words expressed in this thread, I very much appreciate the feedback.
Achieving an activator milestone is a team effort involving hundreds of chasers and thousands of VK and DX activator S2S QSOs, including the unique VK and DX Andrew to Andrew S2S contacts
I’m looking forward to achieving the next milestone with the involvement of the SOTA community here in Australia and the DX friends.
Congratulations Andrew on your 3rd mountain goat!
I hope to meet you again soon for an S2S QSO, but the weather forecast for next Sunday is not good.
