Description
Austin Munger just wanted a C.B. Radio to give him an alternate means of communicating when out hunting or camping. Little did he know that a random trip to HRO would turn into a full-bore hobby!
When I began this podcast, it was for me, the 'new guy' and while both the show and I have grown; I still feel new-ish and love learning about someones first time experience. Adventure radio is on my list for the upcoming Spring, and this Episode may be what pushes me up the hill!
Not content with kerchunking repeaters, Austin set out to challenge himself with this new 'thing' he'd heard about called SOTA (Summits on the Air). It didn't take to long to figure out he was a little unprepared, but a strong will goes far when determination sets in!
Now a prolific Summit activator and chaser, Austin aka. dietsota on Instagram, spends his spare (and work) time playing in the SOTA activity log. He's also gotten his new Bride involved...to the point of activating a Summit during their Honeymoon in Hawaii!
