Charlie Brown, NJ7V, is over three times a mountain goat, a title that comes from over 3000 SOTA activation points. Of course this means achievement and expertise operating portable from mountain tops across Arizona and the West. NJ7V will share his amateur radio story, secrets to SOTA success, and some ideas on how to build a local SOTA organization in this QSO Today.
Hey, we should schedule that very RARE "Charlie Brown to Charlie Brown" contact! Charlie Brown KA5ETX West Texas
Dude! That sounds awesome! Let's do it! I think I'll be on summit next on Jan 14. That was a huge contact day. 229 in the log from Carol Springs Mountain for the Trans-Atlantic S2S event plus a POTA. Thank you for chasing. I think you are a POTA guy, right Joseph? Happy New Year I plan on activating a summit later this year, I am active with POTA. I'm waiting on a MTR-3B, I currently use a KX2 in the field. Very cool! Happy activating. Maybe we'll get you in the log again. I've been doing more POTA lately.
Let's set a schedule! What do you suggest on either 40 or 20 meters? Morning is probably best for me. KA5ETX
Charlie, I really enjoyed your QSO Today chat, particularly after a recent visit out to Phoenix and Sedona. I can see what a blast SOTA must be from your beautiful state. Keep on "groatin'" for the rest of us stuck out here on the lower elevations!
