Eric, KG6MZS, New SoCal MG

I’m happy to share that Eric, KG6MZS, achieved Mountain Goat on Monday from Cirque Peak, W6/SS-085. Not only did he pick a beauty of a summit, he managed to put three continents in the log.
Welcome to the herd, Eric!

Thank you David! And thank you everybody in this wonderful program for creating and supporting such motivating FUN! Summits on the Air has reinvigorated my passion for mountaineering and amateur radio. This program has been a healthy, healing, happy addition to my life. Thank you all.

I wish I could’ve stayed longer and gotten more of you in the log (I’m looking at you David), but my turnaround time had come and gone as it was.

Here is a write-up of last week’s adventure. It’s a bit wordy but you can always just scroll down to the pretty pictures. There was a bit of drama on this one – as there often is on an ascent – so enjoy:

Truly regards – 73 – to all of you!

Thanks Chris – and thanks for following me up in real time via share.garmin.com/kg6mzs. I kinda wondered if anybody ever did that. I should have expected that from a super-chaser. :wink:

Thanks Mike, I was very happy to get you and W6LOR in my Goat log. You two are not only very respectable radio people but consummate mountaineers as well. I always look forward to hearing you on.

Good to get you in my Goat log Josh. After you, Darryl and Chris stopped by I was afraid it was going to be another “dry” activation like Mt. Hooper a few years ago when I only logged 3 contacts. Thanks for being there.

Congrats Eric. We have only had 2 SOTA qsos and one on ft8 in 2020. Don’t think I’ve used it since then;)

I love the pics and stories on your blog and your videos.
