Due to my outdoor actives with scouts etc I got a passion for SOTA activations began at an early age, and by the time you was 13, I had already achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the UK champion in 2008 for under 18’s working 40 summits in a year. As an avid SOTA enthusiast, you have a deep appreciation for the thrill of the climb, the beauty of the landscape, and the excitement of making contacts with other radio operators while on the summit.
