I saw your spot and listened for you from GW/MW-013, but heard nothing. FT70D with ladderline Jpole on 5m pole - I didn’t try 2m SSB or CW as the FT817 was tied up with the 13cm transverter ready to pounce if the opportunity arose. Which it did :o)
I managed S2S with Andy M0FMF and Stuart G1ZAR on 13cm SSB, and with Dave M0JKS on 4m FM, plus a few more on 2m FM. 2m was really busy, though, so I’m sure I missed out on a lot more!
John mentioned the continuing growth of the program, specifically number of accounts and number of summits. I said we see on average about 35 account creations a week. It was a busy weekend (not over yet). So far since 0000Z 11-sep there have 18 unique sign-ups and 1 YB station who loves SOTA so much he created 2 accounts to go with 7 he created last week. I’m still just about able to delete them faster than he can create them
It was great to get you S2S Adrian from G/LD-030, I must admit when I first clocked the GW4 and the summit to summit, I started filling out the log as GW/NW-0 for your summit reference, I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out you where on GW/MW-013. The furthest contact of the day for me on 2m at 117.68 miles.
So who are the gentlemen and the lady in this photo? I do not recognise their faces (except Andy MM0FMF), but I am sure there must be some familiar call signs lined up.
Left to right standing:
Andy G6PJZ, Mary (XYL M0WiV), John M0WIV, Colin M1BUU, Paul G4IPB, Andy MM0FMF, John G3WGV, Andy G8CPZ, Geoff GM4WHA, Karl M0WKG, Mark M0NOM, ???.
