Not content just to tick off the SOTA summits, Ben Lloyd GW4BML has just published a book about his exploits along with his family. It’s entitled ‘Summit of Dreams’ and available on Amazon as a paperback or e-book. A few tear jerking moments for some are included but mostly filled with moments and experiences that we as SOTA activators and chasers can relate to.

Ten bucks US via Kindle. Free if you have an unlimited Kindle membership. About 200 pages. Many other Amazon entries with that same title, but all others are music.

Got mine last week. Halfway through Chapter 2 as struggling to find any “relax with a book” time at present! Very much enjoying the book though. I like Ben’s writing style, and of course lots of “I’ve been there” and “I’ve experienced that” memories being reignited. Good stuff.

Allan @GW4VPX, thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your thoughts! It really means a lot to hear that Summit of Dreams is resonating with you and others in the SOTA community. I wrote the book not just for myself, but for all of us who love this amazing scheme and the adventures it brings. Capturing those moments with my family and sharing them was my way of showing what’s possible when we combine amateur radio with the great outdoors.
I’m thrilled that people are enjoying it so far! If you get a chance, please consider leaving a review, it helps others discover the book. My hope is that these stories inspire activators and chasers alike, and maybe even encourage someone to tackle those remote island summits in the UK.
Thanks again for being part of this journey. SOTA truly is something special!

Hi Geoff,
I now know why you cannot see the book in paperback, it’s because Amazon don’t print in colour in VK. I will be creating a non-colour version over the next week, to upload in VK and JA.
