Hey now, I’ve been a ham for 4 months now (12/21), got my general class in February 2022.
Did my first official SOTA today (W6/CT158). I have sooo much to learn (including navigating this website ) and look forward to having fun doing it. Being in SoCal there are many summits to explore.
Thanks to all that have brought inspiration into my life.
My rig is the Yaesu 891 with a LDG Z11 Pro II tuner, using the Wolf River Coil-TIA (primary) or the Outback 2000 (backup) for HF fieldwork.
I’ve been a ham now for 13 years now and I still feel like a newbie, especially with all this SOTA stuff, so you’re not the only one who still has to learn a lot. But it is fun, isn’t it? You got some nice vistas over there in SoCal and I hope we can have a S2S over the pond one day. 73 from Taiwan. --Hans
