Summits On The Air (SOTA) with my son. Many miles, many smiles

Another one logged with my son. And for all the squares out there, yes I logged the QSO’s off camera myself over the radio 😂. Had a blast and so very proud of my boy. Was suppose to be 4.5 miles round trip…. It wasn’t even that short to the summit. No complaints though. Another awesome local adventure archived. Thank you WB2FUV for his first ever summit to summit. Thank you kindly to the other stations as well. I used the K6ARK EFRW for a quick 2 QSO’s off camera. 72! Upward and onward.

Fantastic! Kid is a confident pro! "Told you I'd get somebody"

LOL Awesome man! If I tried to do that with my daughter (she's 15) she'd just roll her eyes and tell me I'm a nerd 🤣

Bro, you are a special kind of dude. I love that you make these videos.

[@KD2YDN]

@@erickennett Glad you watch them! I really do this so these moments are archived. The best parts aren’t even recorded and just enjoyed. But so much fun to look back on these times. Always grateful. Nice to hear from you man!

[@K6ARK]

This is so cool! That is awesome Owen got Mike, the Legend of the Catskills, on 2m FM for an S2S! Vy 73 de Jonathan "JB"

[@KD2YDN]

@@kc1mxb I was explaining to him the significance of a S2S (on FM with Mike non the less) and his face started to glow. He was in his element hiking and I couldn’t ask for a better person to go with. Absolute joy. I know you know the feeling. Be well JB! Glad you enjoyed.

Enjoy seeing the adventures you take with your son. Thanks for sharing

[@KD2YDN]

@@n4jaw Thanks Jim. It’s an awesome feeling to see his face light up when someone gets back to him on the radio.

[@n4jaw]

@@KD2YDN Chris, I got the same feeling too watching him handled himself like a PRO during his QSOs. Made me JEALOUS 😀

[@KD2YDN]
