Joyce/K0JJW New Mountain Goat
|
Congratulations to Joyce/K0JJW for completing 1000 activator points
while activating Pikes Peak today. She is my totally awesome hiking
partner and spouse. Early on, she always hiked with me on SOTA
activations but didn't start pursuing activator points until the
middle of 2017. All of her SOTA contacts have been on the VHF/UHF
bands, lots of 2m fm along with 2m ssb, 70 cm and 23 cm FM.
She had quite the pileup on 146.55 MHz today. She has activated 181 summits, 112 unique in 19 associations. She is the second female Mountain Goat in Colorado (after Lynn/KC0YQF) and is probably about number 8 female goat in North America? Anyone keeping track? Why to go, Grrl! 73 Bob

Congrats Joyce! I've only been licensed 3 years but that was the biggest pileup on VHF I have ever heard, and I could only hear about 1/3 of the chasers... Ben Jolly KØBEJ

Ben,

This can be pretty exciting (complex, confusing, intimidating) on the summit. You are hearing EVERYONE but they can't hear each other so they end up calling on top of one another. Bob

Thanks for all of your kind, and silly, words and all of the support you have given me along the way. You have no idea how wonderful it felt getting all of the contacts on the top of Pikes on my special day. I kept having flashbacks of some of the wonderful hikes, and some of the painful and very difficult one, also. It was an amazing two hours. I so appreciate you all. Who will be the next Goat?

Thanks, Ben, and that was the first really big pile up that I have ever worked with. I have hear Bob work with them during contests but I have never done it. I so hope I did not miss anyone. It was so fun and means so very much to me!!!
