SOTA DX Contacts
Over the years I have made numerous DX contacts to overseas SOTA activators. Below are a selection of some of those.
Mike 2E0YYY
My first ever DX SOTA contact was on the 1st December 2011, with Mike 2E0YYY who was in WALES activating Moel Famau GW/ NW-044, using the call of 2W0YYY/p.
I have worked Mike many times since. He is a very active SOTA activator.

QSO with Carl 2E0HPI and Jonathan M/VK6JON
In 2015 Carl and Jonathan activated Cringle Moor, using just 5 watts from a Yaeu FT-817 and a 20/40 linked dipole. They were a great signal.
Cringle Moor is located on the northern edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park GFF-0012.
I received a 5/8 signal report from Carl and Jonathan.
Carl wrote to me: "It was a pleasure to work you this morning on the Summit of Cringle Moor and it's amazing what the FT-817 can do."
