I figured you were going to make it today Dow, so I sent you a congratulatory NTS Radiogram last night. Skip K6DGW happened to be the net control on our local CW traffic net, so it seemed like an especially appropriate time to list the traffic.

For a second; I thought your chasing days were over. HI HI. Sure I’m not the only one, that just for a second , did a double take… All the best “73” de Scotty

In reply to W4DOW:Exactly the same open-mouthed reaction here to that headline! Aside from that, congratulations in achieving this level in so short a time. Keep having fun! 73’s Herm and Merle, KB1RJC and KB1RJD
In reply to KB1RJC:
Thats pretty awesome! Vast majority of the contacts made since last september!
VY congratulations.
Can do this now that I am Retired and Love Cw. You see my my SOTA log that most of my Contacts are on CW. Just a Few here and there on SSB when needed to get the points. With the Weather so bad here in the Mountains of Virginia this year and I have COPD pretty bad I cant get out much in this cold air and breath very good I get in a lot of Radio time and I found I enjoy the SOTA program as a Chaser. We have good days and then we have Bad days. Thanks

Congrats Dow on hitting the 5K Chaser point level. The SOTA operation is a great part of this ham radio hobby and one of the fastest growing parts I’ve seen in years. Have fun and keep on chasing.
