W6RIP Kicks SOTA Butt and Saves Lives

Kevin W6RIP talks about how his YouTube channel came to be, the difficult and often untouched peaks of the SOTA W6 Southern Sierra Region, and his thoughts when he found himself in a precarious SOTA situation. He also shares how he got into the San Gorgonio Search and Rescue Team, and the things he learned about activating summits in retrospect. This badass ham was an early inspiration for AD6DM.  Related Links: W6RIP Radio Adventures YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/W6RIPRadioAdventures Kevin on Twitter: https://twitter.com/W6RIP San Gorgonio SAR FB page: https://www.facebook.com/SanGorgonioSAR Did you know you can send audio messages back to AD6DM™ Hamdom Thoughts?
