Early spring seems to be the preferred time this year for our farm owners to enlarge their goat stalls.
An 8th goat enlivens now the already large stall of Jürg Regli, HB9BIN. He catched it on his last tours to the Vosges and the French Jura mountains. No summit is safe from Jürg, so enjoy your retirees’s life to realize new projects and discover new regions. We’re looking forward to being inspired by your ideas and catch you here and there!
New mountain goat René Lutz, HB9NBG, is a well-known SOTA enthusiast here in HB9. He and his wife Carine, HB9FZC, own a shop for amateur radio gear near Basle and have equipped many Swiss SOTA beginners with the essentials to make future mountain goats happy. It’s a ridge hike by itself to enjoy amateur radio and even live from it, but they do that with that much joy and dedication – check out their Youtube videos to get to know them and the sceneries around their activated summits.
I’m sure that the next months will enlarge the Swiss mountain goat herd furthermore. Feed our activators with summit points to help them grow!
8000 points - to me that is incomprehensible. A dream beyond dreams. I am happy just to have 2000 as my target. Well done Juerg and many thanks for the chaser points along the way.
Congratulations Rene. I still recall how pleased I was to have reached Goatdom. Onwards and Upwards from here!
Well done and congratulations to Juerg and Rene on gaining their achievements,only sorry have missed you Carine and Rene with the poor conditions. 73 Don G0RQL.
Congratulations to both of them! Excellent performance for Juerg, he is a real performer on SOTA activations and his antennas are perfectly fitted for this job. Hope to activate with you again, Juerg!
First, Carine and I congrats also Jürg, HB9BIN for his unbelievable 8000 Points and Daniel, HB9IIO and Rolf, HB9DGV to their Mountain Goat Award
We both thanks you all very much for your congratulations and for all the QSO’s which we had in our SOTA-activations 'till now - we look Forward to many more in the future
From our last activity, on which I (HB9NBG) have reached my Mountain Goat, we’ve made a Video on our YouTube-Channel - it’s in Swiss-German, but we hope, that the beautifull Pictures from the Swiss alps speaks for it’self
We thank you all very much and look Forward to our next S2S
