M0RWX Activates All G Summits in One Year

Robert, M0RWX from Malmesbury, Wiltshire activated every single SOTA summit in England, within the calendar year of 2022.

This is an unprecedented achievement, but it doesn’t end there.

During 2022, Robert also activated extensively in France, Scotland and Wales and a little in Benelux, recording a total of 326 activations, and a mammoth 1,476 activator points in the year—almost 1.5 Mountain Goats.

Robert is now targeting an activator completion of Wales during 2023 and—thereafter—spending longer on each summit, experimenting with more bands and modes.
