G6WBS - SOTA Mountain Goat

Shane Siggins G6WBS from Preston, Lancashire, has achieved SOTA Mountain Goat status for reaching 1000 activator points. He has made the vast majority of his QSOs on 2m FM.

Shane reports feeling "part of a very special community" with a loyal band of recognised chasers being worked on most activations and expresses appreciation to the programme for encouraging him to explore lots of new hills and mountains.

Shane has enjoyed the company of his partner on most activations, who joins in with route planning, Yagi assembly etc. They are now looking forward to some SOTA further afield, including abroad.
