Описание: NOTE: Full video subtitled - including CW section! Turn on closed captioning (CC) to see the translation, or practice head copy with translations turned off.

Join Di and Ormoo the SOTA Cat for a challenging hike up Mt. Lukens in Los Angeles! We pushed our limits in the hot weather, but the breathtaking views and the chance to communicate with Morse code made it all worthwhile. This SOTA activation was full of fun, friendship (thanks Ara and Mark), and a touch of meow-someness!

Location: Mount Lukens (W6/CT-030)
Activation date: June 29, 2024
