We made 4-EU Qs on 15m! ...way too much FUN!! What an incredible day at 11,600' ...temps ~70F and blue skies with fall color! No T-storms!
In the past some folks have asked us "just why do you hike to a summit with a ham radio? Heh? You know there's cell phones and you can call all over the planet with them for almost nothing?!"
So the question is ...why do you crazies do SOTA? ...ask Peanut & Rooster. They might say it's because of all those tasty treats on those summits. But if you ask the Old Goat (that's me) he'll say ....hmm? it's hard to explain really. It's just all about being out THERE! Go watch my GoatHIKER videos then ask me the same question!
