First SOTA Activation!

Despite the CME onslaught, this past weekend I managed 9 QSOs from the summit of Scotts Mountain W2/NJ-005 (elevation 1280 ft.), making my first Summits On The Air activation attempt a success!  Looking forward to the next one as well as being a more active ‘chaser’.  Now I feel more comfortable in placing a SOTA decal on my mobile.
