Episode 324 - Keith Schlottman - KR7RK
Keith Schlottman, KR7RK, is not
only a mountain goat, he is also a super sloth. Terms like this are not
endearing, however if you are a SOTA activator or chaser, then you know how
important these terms are to SOTA, Summits on the Air, operators. KR7RK
tells his ham radio story in this QSO Today.
