This is a blog of my amateur radio activities. I am a member of The Hall of Science Radio Club (HOSARC). We have many activities and classes available to radio operators both new and old. In fact HOSARC is the reason I have my ticket today. The free classes were a big help in passing both the Technician and General license tests on the same day. (Post Morse code testing, mind you) Feel free to check them out at www.hosarc.org

SOTA Summits on the Air.
On November 14th of this year I made a whopping 5 QSOs, including the Goatman! . It was not a very large number, but considering it took a good bit of hiking a portion of the Appalachian trail and following of both GPS and trail map directions , it was pretty respectable. We were out for a Summits on the Air activation. SOTA is a Amateur Radio program that promotes both outdoor and indoor transmitting and monitoring. With interesting awards like the "Mountain Goat" and "Shack Sloths" I think it may become a fixture on the HAM scene.
