Chasing His 6th Mountain Goat — Derek W7DLZ on SOTA & QRP

Derek W7DLZ has earned the SOTA Mountain Goat award five times over and he's closing in on a sixth. Since his first activation in September 2021, Derek has operated from hundreds of summits across six associations and twenty-two regions at a pace that's hard to believe, and he shows no signs of slowing down. In this episode we cover his preferred radio, antenna choices, and operating philosophy. If you're into SOTA, QRP field ops, or just want to hear what genuine passion for a hobby sounds like, this one's for you. https://www.qrz.com/db/W7DLZ Join us as we explore how you can get involved in portable radio, QRP, and more in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone (AP/DZ).
