Hi Knut,
On the contrary, I find most people are actually pretty interested in what
you're doing, and even in this age of global reach via phone/internet often
quite impressed by what communications can be achieved with a little radio (in
my case a KX3) and a wire antenna. In fact, I've gone so far as flying a SOTA
flag off my crappie pole when I'm operating encouraging folks to come over a
ask what I'm doing.

Hi again,
Not a bad idea. We were very successful in getting our four children
interesting in the outdoors. The oldest daughter and her husband are even
into backpacking in the back country (Algonquin park), something we never
got into. The other three are very good hikers, too.
I hate to be a wet blanket, but I am not sure if I understand the joy of
activating peaks on ham radio. How do other hikers react to this? I know I
am extremely annoyed by people gabbing on their cell phones on the trail. Is
ham radio that much different?
