First of all my thanks to Andy @MM0FMF and Jim @G0CQK for setting me up on SOTAwatch / SOTA SMS Gateway and SOTA Reflector.
I am located south side of the Erskine Bridge, about 16 miles from Glasgow in Scotland. I was originally licensed in England in the early 1980’s with callsign G6FSB, but have pretty much been dormant in amateur radio until recently when I changed callsign to GM7STP. I am a member of the RSGB and the G-QRP Club.
Now well retired and having undertaken my 1st Activation last week on 15-May-2025 (Activation report to follow !) I am looking forward to many more activations and even some homebrew construction.
There is certainly a wealth of knowledge and experience generously shared in the SOTA community on SOTA Reflector that I have enjoyed reading about and am undoubtedly benefitting from already.
Welcome to SOTA Peter. You certainly live in a brilliant location for access to a wide range of summits. Looking forward to working you on one band or another.
Well done on completing your first SOTA activation Peter, and welcome to the very addictive SOTA hobby as many have said above, you live in a prime location, and a lot of us would be very jealous!
Looking forward to reading your future reports, and hope for a S2S soon.
