Congratulations to new Shacksloth Klaus DF2GN, who qualified in style with a S2S contact on 10/Jan/2008 at 09:28utc with Kurt HB9AFI/P on HB/VD-038 Aiguilles de Baulmes, in 7MHz CW.
This is an amazing achievement, as Klaus joins an elite group of SOTA participants who have qualified as both Mountain Goat and Shacksloth.
Well done Klaus.

Many congratulations Klaus!
But what´s the real name of a
“mountain goat shack sloth”?
Is it a "Wolpertinger?

I think, in France, it is a DAHU :

73 DX Pista HA5TIMany congratulations Klaus. Thank you for your impeccable activations, the 235 points since I came onboard in October and your willingness to make sure everyone on air is contacted, sometimes in very bad conditions.
You are a true SOTA MG/SS.
Thank you.
Best 73’s

Well done on achieving MG & SS Klaus. I am tempted to ask “What kept you?” but I seem to have misplaced my body armour…
Thank you for your support of us ‘beginners’ on your activations. ie me on CW and Jimmy on SSB; you always make it a pleasure for us to work you.
Congrats,
Tom M1EYP
Gratuliere dich Klaus !!!
Must not be easy to become a SS when you are on the mountains all the time hihi!!
Job well done
Peter
Congratulations on Shacksloth Klaus!
Does that make you you a Shoat, a Goth, a ShackGoat or a MountainSloth?
Thanks for the qrs contacts, I can always rely on you for a good steady CW qso on 30mts. By the way, your signal today from BW-257 was massive.

Hallo Klaus
meine herzlichsten Gratulationen zum Shacksloth. Eine beachtliche Leistung wenn man bedenkt, dass Du sehr oft von den Gipfeln zu hören bist.
So sage ich AWDH und bis bald vom nächsten Gipfel.
Hans, HB9BHW
hi all , and thanks for nice words and congrats here in the reflector or on band at my last activation.
yes, i will continue 
also in future i will try to reach as many chasers as possible from the summits.
started with sota on 27th, february 2006. in 2006 i was cw and qrp only, in 2007 with cw/ssb and mostly qrp and now in 2008 in cw/ssb multiband and qro.the qro results more in the fast grown and becomming bigger pile-ups ,in that my own signal often goes under
ok, to reach as many as possible is my first goal, but another big goal from me ,is to make 10000 sota-qso´s in my first 2 years of sota. in moment my sota-log counts 9848qso´s . in the last 11 activations i made 1111qso´s and so i think, i will reach the 10000th qso on the next summits.
due to the last dx-cluster spots more and more new callsigns come in, also a bit dx. yesterday N7CW calls me in cw on 40m after a spot from S51UJ.
but also concentrate my chasing to inner eu and qrs-stns again.
in next activations in winter/spring time i will do the fast qso-mode.
not, that i don´t like ragchewing, but often i need up to 2hours to work
all chasers on differet bands and modes . and after 2 hours i have mostly cold fingers and feets
hope cu again from the summits !!
