ARLA/CLUSTER: As incríveis activações SOTA disponíveis em 1 000 pontos diferentes no Mundo

Amazing SOTA Mountain Goat activation

The 'Mountain Goat' accolade is achieved upon reaching 1000 points in the
activator section of the SOTA - Summits on the Air awards programme.  Well
over 350 amateurs worldwide can boast Mountain Goat status, including over
50 here in the UK.

Perhaps the most noteworthy of any Mountain Goat activation, was the one
undertaken by *Colin Evans M1BUU* from Keighley.  Colin is a very keen
constructor, and in order to make his MG activation special, he came up
with the incredible idea of actually constructing all his gear on the
summit!

Colin selected the summit of Whernside G/NP-004, 736m (2415 ft) ASL for his
activation.  He carried up kits for a Rockmite CW transceiver, a home-made
key, and antenna, plus of course the necessary tools, including a
gas-powered soldering iron!  This was in addition to all the rest of the
essential kit for a winter mountain expedition!  Colin was successful, and
made more than enough QSOs on his summit-constructed station, to qualify
the activation, and accordingly, his Mountain Goat status.
