Episode 045 - Steve Galchutt - WG0AT

Picture
When attempting to activate a new mountain peak, in Colorado,  for SOTA, Summits on the Air, Steve Galchutt, WG0AT, uses goats to act as his “sherpas” to carry his gear to the top. His goats allow him to make it to the top of the “teeners”, to set up and make contacts.  Join WG0AT and Eric, 4Z1UG on the QSO Today podcast.

Eric,

Just wanted to say thanks for the site. I found out about QSOToday from a post in the linuxham Yahoo! group regarding David Freese. Since that Podcast, I have also listened to the ones with Steve Galchutt, Stan Lewandowski, and started the one with Wayne Burdick.

I use Fldigi for most of my digital radio needs. I started following Steve because of his goats and because of SOTA. I enjoy reading Stan's webpage and am a big fan of Elecraft so the Wayne Burdick interview is something I want to listen to.

Keep up the good work. I am working my way through all of them but looking forward to new ones as well.

73,
Joel - W4JBB
