An obsessed peakbagger with commitment issues to flat ground.
I have a soft spot for the GM peaks up in the Scottish Highlands. If it’s steep, scenic, and preferably miles from the nearest decent phone signal - I’m in.
SOTA has officially become part of the adventure and my excuse to haul radio gear up mountains like it’s totally normal. Most often accompanied by Shadow the Cocker Spaniel!
Current setup:
- KX2, FX-4CR, Xeigu x6100 or a Yeasu FT857
- 20/40m linked dipole
- 10/15/17/20/40/80 EFHW
- 1/4w 10m, 15, 17m, 20m verticals for DX
- W3EDP / Random wires.
- 100g Yagi & Slim Jim for 2m.
Love to make contacts in the mountains, especially summits to summits using 2m & 10m
