Hi Tony,
Congratulations on a great activation.
I can only offer my profuse and humblest of apologies for today mate as I have to admit I haven't been on air due to some technical hitches. It's only now noticing your post that I've looked up at the shack calendar with your SOTA clearly marked. We may not have made it through anyway and I can only kindly thank you for having a go.
I wish you all the best mate and with everything you do. Well done again.

I also wish you good luck Craig. It looks like you will have a fine but cold day.. my fingers are ice cold and I haven't ventured out yet.
Sorry I will not be able to try for you today as will be in our faraday cage of a work building for most of it. Hopefully I will be able to catch you again on another activation.
Last note, and might be too late for you this time, but I noticed the Station Master Cloud logging platform released an Activations feature you or others might like to try in the future: https://station-master.online/activations

Hope you had a good activation Craig and that it wasn't too cold for you. (Seems we have some colder weather approaching so you might have had the best day.)
Try as I might it was all wall to wall Continental 'CQ Competition' stuff my way despite slowly tuning around the dial. I had the G0XBU Jodrell bank websdr open on 2m but an attempt to open a second window saw my old PC lagging. All my best efforts failed to pick you up unfortunately.
Sorry to have missed you but hope you had a good time nonetheless.

Really pleased for you Craig that your activation was successful, and those pictures are gorgeous. I would loved to have traded places with you for the day.
