After my recent trip to the Mid North of South Australia, I had managed to slide passed the 500 point mark for my Summit to Summit (S2S) contacts for the Summits on the Air (SOTA) program. I was fortunate enough to have a number of S2S contacts whilst I was away, including a number of DX S2S QSOs. So when I returned home, I applied for the 500 point S2S certificate, which arrived via email yesterday. Thanks to the SOTA organisers, and all of the SOTA activators who allowed me to reach this stage.

Hi John,
It has taken a little while to get there. I’ve done very little SOTA activity this year. I’m really hanging off on our possible purchase of a 4WD, which will allow me to access more of the summits we have here in VK5. As you know, many, if not most of them are a little hard to get to. Anyway, it has been a lot of fun. Now I’ve got to aim for the 1,000 points.
Best wishes,
Paul,
