SOTA 'Mountain Goat Award' goes to G1INKSteve Green, G1INK, from Buxton in Derbyshire has become only the third radio amateur in England to win the coveted Mountain Goat award. This accolade is given to people who achieve 1,000 activator points as part of the Summits on the Air programme. Steve achieved the award on one of his favourite peaks, Great Gable in the Lake District , on 14 August. At the start of that day, Steve had 980 activator points, but put in a mammoth 24 point expedition as he traversed between three eight-point summits in Cumbria – Pillar, Kirk Fell and finally Great Gable. Steve began SOTAing in November 2003, and he achieved the Mountain Goat honour on his 199th summit activation. He is the fifth person in the UK to win the Mountain Goat award, and
only the eighth in the world.
