Congratulations Lynn! I made sure Kylee (and Amy, my wife) knew of your impending achievement yesterday morning, and on one of our favorite summits, Chief Mountain, too! (We have good memories of that summit!)
I really hoped to work you yesterday, after so many QSOs over the years (including the times when Kylee worked you). Unfortunately I couldn’t hear a peep with the poor conditions.

I’m so glad you got the necessary QSOs in spite of not feeling well and the poor propagation! I hope you get to feeling better and can get back out on the next summit soon!

BTW - thanks a bunch to you and Frank for helping out Amy with the tuner selection. She appreciated the guidance and it was a great Christmas gift! I appreciate our “long distance” friendship - you both epitomize the true spirit of SOTA!

73/88,
Randy, ND0C (and Kylee!)

Congratulations Lynn. I was happy to make a contact with you the past weekend, while you were activating W5N/EL-016. It surprised me that I could hear you, as I was trying to make a contact with a station activating a peak in Colorado, but couldn’t hear him very well (like almost no signal), but then I looked at the SOTA spot app on my phone and saw that you had been spotted, so I QSY’ed to your call frequency. And I was pleasantly surprised to hear your call, very clearly, and no drift at all (on my end). If you trace a directly straight line from my home in Penticton, BC to Wagon Mound, NM, you’ll see Colorado is right on that line. So strangely enough, there was a strong signal from your summit location there to my mobile - it hopped over the mountains of Colorado to come down in BC. I gave you an RST 55 while you gave me a RST 53 - I’ll take that anyday of the week. Hope to work you again on some of your upcoming summits - de VE7JBT

Hi all, Lynn is having some PW issues and has a nasty cold. She wanted me to tell you all thanks for the congratulatory remarks. We have had a lot of fun on the summits and will have much more in the future.

I am real sorry that conditions were not better. I had a feeling that would happen after reading the solar report, we have activated in bad conditions before but it has never been that bad.

The QSL cards have been arriving daily and we will pick a winner for the radio soon.

Thanks one and all

Frank and Lynn
K0JQZ and KC0YQF

Randy, I am glad you liked the tuner. It was a pleasure to help Amy with its selection. Whenever we hear Kylee on the air it just makes our day. Of course I like hearing you in the CW pileup as well. Operators like you are getting few and far between.
