Steve [N7GWG] -- Progress Report IN PICTURES (Sep 12, 2017)

Morning Ham Friends.
Since we have been talking a lot about this years Summer Projects, thought I would share a few photos now that the porch project is 99.87 % done, with a before and after.

Notice the broken floor boards near "Dozzer" and the south corner sagging into the ground on the south side, and the sagging pitch of the roof.
All FIXED and new house colors, gray green, and cream white.

My neighbor Charlie who helped us with the 3 month project Kitchen last hear, totally took apart the porch door and put it back together.
Wonderful Job.

Now ON to the chimney !!

Etienne, K6ATN, sent an advance copy of the Pacific Northwest News which featured Tim, KG7EJT: "Tim Nair-KG7EJT reached Mountain Goat status during his July 16, 2017 activation of Tiffany Mountain (W7W/OK-029). Dennis-WA2USA, in Indiana, was the fourth contact on Tim’s activation that got him to 1,000 points. This particular activation was mostly on 20 meters, with one contact on 40 meters."

"In a Facebook Post, moments after his activation, Tim stated, 'Just reached Mountain Goat level!!! Thanks for the contacts!!!'. 'This is truly an amazing accomplishment', stated Todd-W7TAO. 'You are really the first native Washington SOTA Mountain Goat, earning most of your points in our great state. This is an exceptionally difficult task with most six point or higher peaks being rugged and accessible for only a very short season. Well done sir. This is a big deal and to boot, you are a first class operator!'
Tim’s first SOTA activation was in January 2015 and it took him 182 summits in order to reach 1,000 points.

When Tim started doing SOTA, all contacts were made using 2 meter FM for the first 1½ years. About 90% of all his activations have been 2m FM. The Tiffany Mountain activation was an exception as it was strictly HF."
(Ed Note: Please forgive me if I posted Tim's achievement last month, I don't have access to that issue right now)
