SOTA Activities

I prefer to activate but will sometimes chase if I see a Spot on Sotawatch. I use a KX3 when backpacking and SOTAing and operate mostly CW. Antennas are: Homebrew vertical dipole (simular to a BuddiStick but lighter and a PVC Pipe coaxial dipole for APRS and 2M FM QSOs. Revised 5/18/2013.
