Herm(RJC) & Merle(RJD) both just achieved Mountain Goat while completing their fourth QSO’s with Doug W1DMH. I had the pleasure of meeting them a few years back and can say that they are just as wonderful a couple in person as they appear to be via radio waves. Congratulations to both of you.
Congratulations Merle and Herm. A great achievement! You are two enthusiastic and dedicated SOTA Activators and Chasers. Thank you for the many SOTA contacts. Bob AC1Z
Nice. Our longest lasting climber-couple… nearly six years. Smart, too, as they mostly avoided winter. Doesn’t hurt that Merle is queen of the Summit Sisters… Congrats to both.
It was a very plesant surprise to have my first eyeball QSO with both Merle and Herm on Mount Greylock W1/MB-001, followed a few days later by on-air QSO’s with them from their Goat summit on Mountain Goat day.
Congratulations to both Merle and Herm on a terrific achievement !
Congratulations! Very well deserved. They have been both working together towards MG since 2011 activating over 200 summits with over 150 of them uniques. Average points/activation ~ 5. You have to work real hard and persevere to have those kinds of numbers and they did it as a team. Bravo!
