Good morning, KY operators!

This weekend is the 4th annual SOTA Kentucky Campout. We have about 15 operators from around the country traveling to operate from KY summits, mainly Friday-Sunday. For those of you monitoring 146.520 FM on a regular basis, you’re likely to hear regular calls of “CQ SOTA.” These folks need a minimum of 4 contacts (simplex only, unless through a satellite repeater) with the exchange being callsign and signal report.

Please consider keeping an extra ear out for them…the rain and low temperatures will add to the challenge this weekend.

I am saddened by the passing of KE4OZR David Stidham formerly of Vicco. He moved to the Philippines a couple years back. We messaged often. Back in the 90’s We became radio friends and talked every day and He went with Me to several field days and hamfests. R.I.P. David! De KY4JLB
