Hello all,

I would like to introduce myself to all. My name is Ed Breneiser, WA3WSJ. I’m working on a SOTA W3 Association. I have about two weeks of work to finish and then I’ll submit the paperwork. The W3 Association or the 3-Call Area has three states in it - Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware. There will be lots of summits to work in this association. More to come…

73,
Ed, WA3WSJ

Way to go Ed! Get this paperwork rolling! Why not operate from a W3 hill somewhere (I know you like it), would it be only for practice and give us a shout?

Hi, Ed.

Can I just say… GRRRRRRREAT to see your posting here.

It’s great to see you getting involved in SOTA, I wish you the very best of luck getting W3 organization going.

I thoroughly enjoyed hiking to the Catfish fire tower up on the Appalachian Trail during “Camp Run-Amok” with you and others a few years ago for polar bear moonlight madness. Fariba says ‘Hi!’ too…

I hope you can be part of the multi-activation on November 14th!

Hi Ed,

Congratulations for your work for W3 SOTA.

I have a little resquest:
Please, in your futur ARM, give summits altitude in feet AND METERS.
Of course, US activators are not familiar with meters, but here in Europe, we do are; and this will avoid problems when I will be using softwares reading summits altitude in foreign documents. Thanks !

Hope to hear you soon from summits

Hello,

I didn’t think about displaying meters too. Yes, you are correct many in Europe will appreciate the meter listing for altitude. I will have to delete the county column and then I’ll insert a meter column in the tables. The W3 Association will have about 1600 summits. This will cause a delay of a few days for me to submit paperwork, but well worth it.

73,
Ed, WA3WSJ
