Well, the answer is a resounding no in my opinion, after a week of little chasing activity here in Blighty, as its been very quiet on all the bands up here in the NW UK, I was beginning to think SOTA had lost its charm. Then a little gem of a summit popped up on the alerts page,with one of our prolific activators atempting to “pull one” over on us by sneaking a cracking summit in on the “3 went daft” tour of Friedrichshafen. Take alook at Inky’s proposed activation on the 29th June, DL/EW-001, needless to say I need another flat panel monitor as mine is covered in half chewed bacon sandwich soaked in coffee !!!
Well, Jens, I’m sorry if re-affirming the rules of SOTA has deleted its charm for you, this is a particular pity since you were three quarters of the way to Mountain Goat. Keep a record, and if ever you change your mind you will be welcomed back.

PS Does anyone want to explain the humour of Inky’s comment for the benefit of those participants who might not have a grasp of colloquial English? …I thought not!

No need to be coy about this; Wikipedia’s disambiguation page explains the matter succinctly.
I could do the job myself in about 10 words but this isn’t the place! And if “disambiguation” is a valid word - it ruddy well shouldn’t be! Mind you, I bet there will be a succession of stations asking Steve what the name of the hill is, all innocent, like;-)
