Ham Radio 360: SOTA with K6ABM (new guys perspective)

Austin Munger just wanted a C.B. Radio to give him an alternate means of
communicating when out hunting or camping.Â* Little did he know that a
random trip to HRO would turn into a full-bore hobby!



When I began this podcast, it was for me, the new guy and while both the
show and I have grown; I still feel new-ish and love learning about
someones first time experience.Â* Adventure radio is on my list for the
upcoming Spring, and this Episode may be what pushes me up the hill!



Not content with kerchunking repeaters, Austin set out to challenge himself
with this new thing hed heard about called SOTA (Summits on the Air).Â* It
didnt take to long to figure out he was a little unprepared, but a strong
will goes far when determination sets in!



Now a prolific Summit activator and chaser, Austin aka. dietsota on
Instagram, spends his spare (and work) time playing in the SOTA activity
log.Â* Hes also gotten his new Bride involvedto the point of activating a
Summit during their Honeymoon in Hawaii!
