So this was going to be my second SOTA ( Summits on the Air ) activation, but things didn't go as planned.
Got to the top and Called CQ for a good 20 minutes, and the radio was just dead silence.
But it was a good hike, and we had a fun time. The Go pro shot some good video, so this makes a decent VLOG.
Either way, hope you all enjoy the video.
The hike started at the Lily Mountain Nature Reserve, and ended near "Big Round Mountain" or W4K-KA-008 Sota activation point.

This was my successful SOTA activation at the Berea Pinnacles, KY:
