I don’t believe it has been mentioned here on the SOTA Reflector, but it is certainly worthy of note…
Congratulations to Rich, N4EX, on passing 30,000 chaser points. It is a very impressive achievement, especially here in NA. And if I remember correctly, about 20,000 or so was done primarily with QRP.
Rich has done a lot of activating as well and I appreciate all the QSO’s whether he was on a summit or I was. (And he worked me on every one of my activations.)
Congrats Rich!
I was very surprised to hear N4EX on my very first activation in dec 2011 with my 3W rf. Every my activation when I tune my ATS3 and 2x10m ant on 20, 17 and 15m I hope that iono allows to hear my QRP in NA, especially in NC… thanks for 18 SOTA contacts, Rich.

i managed to work rich several times on ssb with my qrp-rig (ic-703 + mp-1 antenna) … it’s always a pleasure to make it across the atlantic on SOTA activations!
In reply to ND0C:
Congratulations Rich. I’ve worked very few transatlantic chasers, but you have been in my log a few times. Thanks for making my day on my SOTA summits.
In reply to GW4VPX:
Congratulations Rich on your achievement.
You are my only USA contact at times when I am activating, and I wonder if you get any sleep my local time is a lot different to yours.
Great effort.

Congratulations Rich, well deserved! Whenever propagation gives my 5W SSB a tiny chance to reach NA you come back to my call. Looking forward to our next contact.
Well done Rich!
Great that I recently could deliver some points.
Now that I have a good mobile phone with me for self-spotting N4EX is mostly at the top of my 21MHz-ssb activatorlog. Today again? Hopefully.
