I finally got around to activating my first summits on the air peak! On 3rd March 2021, myself and Justin VK7TW activated SOTA summit, Collins Cap (VK7/SC-006) for 8 points. We had a great day and a great highlight was hearing the USA on 15m. Unfortunately no contact was made, but still plenty of contacts across VK. Interested in SOTA? Have a go! It's a lot of fun!

Congrats VK7HH. I'm not sure how I found out about SOTA, but after my first activation I was hooked too! Hope we'll get a S2S sometime! 73. -Tim N7KOM
Thanks Tim. Hopefully we can work for sure! I was pretty chuffed hearing that Texas station and the bands will only get better.
