People Milestones

Hi Friends,

Year 2022 is the year of my 10th anniversary in SOTA.

On September 23 of 2012 I activated my first summit SP/BZ-050 :wink:
I used callsign SN2012UP to commemorate Kilimanjaro hike which we did a month before:

I am happy with milestones achieved during my 10 years in SOTA:

  • 1-st place worldwide as activator in year 2018 (2104 points) - as first ever activator from Poland,

  • 10.000 activator points achieved during 9 years & 9 months participation time (now the score is 10.363)

  • 25.000 S2S points achieved earlier in this year (now the score is 27.275)

  • Mountain Explorer Award Status = Platinum - activated summits in 20 associations

but the most important milestone is that during my 10 years in SOTA I met in person many of You - thanks for giving me a chance.

Below example photo is taken in Czech Republic, on the photo activators from England, Norther Ireland and Poland :wink:

These are just some photos, but they show what is the most beautiful in SOTA for me: PEOPLE :exclamation:

As I stated before my SOTA activity is important part of my life but I still work, so my possibilities are very limited - only by weekends and holidays …but despite on it up to now I achieved milestones which made me happy :wink:

Many thanks for your support, many thanks for everything my dear SOTA Friends :wink:

On coming Saturday - September 24 I will activate my first summit SP/BZ-050 again to celebrate my 10th SOTA anniversary :wink:

Welcome to participate :wink:

Hi Jarek,

congratulations on your 10th anniversary and all of your achievements in SOTA!

:clap: :+1:

It was great to meet you again after some years at our OE5 SOTA DAY a few days ago … besides the radio contacts it’s always a special highlight for me to meet QSO Partners in person.

Here are some pictures of our meeting in 2018 and 2019 …

Cała społeczność krótkofalowców z SP Ci gratuluje! Te wyniki są niesamowite! Zwłaszcza, że jeszcze intensywnie zawodowo pracujesz i musisz dzielić czas miedzy pracę i hobby!
Jak już wcześniej pisałem : " Jesteś Naszym SP SOTA Ambasadorem"
