It was a sunny day yesterday when my wife and i  went to Bald peak for a SOTA activation attempt (she thinks i am crazy for doing this). The view was great. It was a busy day at the park , lots of visitors coming and going. I had never been there and until i starting researching SOTA i had no idea it existed. learning about SOTA has allowed me to discover a different perspective and i can't wait for the next opportunity to combine the great outdoors with radio. I was able to make 6 contacts yesterday and with my little 2meter HT.
