Rich,

I just wanted to join in on the chorus of “congratulations!” on an amazing achievement.

When you mentioned discovering SOTA in August, 2010, I recognized that as the same month I had become afflicted with the addiction. So I did some checking… We both made our first SOTA contacts on the same day! You’ve certainly outdistanced me since then! And of course what only the “old-timers” may realize is that you worked the first 2 years exclusively using QRP I believe, racking up about 15,000 points in that time.

You have tremendous operating skill and etiquette and you’re almost always there. On the rare times that I activate, I just know you’ll be there for a QSO. (It was a tough one on Mt. Washburn years ago during a CME, but we made it!) Also, thanks for all the summits you’ve activated!

Rich,

congrats on that score, I know how you do it - a very good home station and the right skills! - you are one of the few I hear consistently on LP in VK Monday mornings working the Sunday afternoon activators. This morning I heard you again on 14.065, also heard Dow, but did not hear the activator, sadly!

Congratulations Rich, that’s wonderful. I look forward to our contacts, you are almost always the first or second caller in my log.

I also appreciate that you are a first class operator. You set a very good example on the air for newbies like me and it is much appreciated.
