Congratulations Tommy!
You always have a big signal here in Northeast Tennessee.

Congrats Tommy on becoming a Super Sloth. Be careful though, this part of the hobby can become very addictive and you forget about everything else in life. Hopefully we won’t have to start a Sota rehab program in the future. :slight_smile:

Also Congrats from me Tommy. Gary(W0MNA)is right though. My log has mostly SOTA contacts. It’s great fun for Activators and chasers alike. Take care and good luck! de Scotty KG3W

Congrats Tommy! Recently when I was visiting So. Cal, Tommy was so reliable as a 40m CW chaser that only one dit for the “does everything work” test before starting a CQ would result in a call from W7RV!

So on subsequent Activations, I wouldn’t call CQ but just call W7RV first! Great fun! Thanks again to the Chasers!

Congrats, Tommy. I count on you to be in there every time, usually working the summit before I can. Hi hi. Great signal.

Congrats to W7RV on the 10k Chaser Points.
I know its fun but thats a lot of time and work, as I just passed the 5K mark the other day. But I enjoy it and its fun.
Again Congrats from W4DOW Chaser in W4V

In reply to NS7P:

And to WA7JTM,NE4TN,W0MNA,KB1RJC,NA6MG,KG3W,N7UN,W4DOW

Many thanks for the kind words. WA7JTM got me into this SOTA business about 7 months ago and it really took over my operating time. I’m a DXer and sometimes contester and chase DX on 6 meters. Since the current cycle for 6m hasn’t been too kind, I jumped into the SOTA pond. They say it’s addictive…and it is. Time to back off a bit from chasing and do some activating. Thanks to all for the points and fun. I was originally a K4 from TN, so it’s nice to work the home state on SOTA.

73 to ALL,
Tommy W7RV (ex-W7JHO, W5RUD, K4RSY)

Congratulations Tommy on achieving the Super Sloth.

Thanks Jimmy,

I was sitting at 9999 and worked N0PCL for a 4 pointer to put me over.

Guy, yeah I laughed out loud to myself every time you did that!!

Excellent job Tommy, you’re one of my top 10 chasers and SOTA wouldn’t be the same without you. Congratulations!

W7RV…

The man, the machine, the super sloth! Way to go Tommy and thanks for being in my activator logbook.

Now you’ve got to get activating. I know for a fact that you’ve got the equipment to do it. There wont be any excuses after the Superbowl.

Looking forward to seeing you (and the rest of W7A SOTA Banditos) at the next get together.
