Thanks very much! I was already off my summit by the time you were able to get the system up, but I already had been able to complete the activation on 2 m FM. In the process I “met” two more SOTA ops for the first time AND was told about a local online SOTA group I wasn’t previously aware of. I would have missed all that with one of my typical HF activations.
So maybe Dr. Pangloss was right.
