As you can tell from my blogs, I caught the SOTA bug. I also started activating and chasing/hunting National Parks within Victoria (VK3). Later, the South Australian National & Conservation Parks Award was announced, so I started chasing the SA (VK5) parks. This page shows some of the Award certificates.
At GippsTech 2014, Jenni VK3FJEN presented me with two hand made “trophies”, built from unused junk-box electrical components, her versions of the SOTA trophies. The box containing the two trophies had the words:
Peter,
Thank you for being such a great contributor to the Amateur Radio Community.
From ALL of us!
ENJOY!
Many thanks Jenni!

SOTA major milestone reached: Super Sloth
On the weekend that some VK2 SOTA enthusiasts chose to celebrate the anniversary of SOTA VK2 becoming live, I achieved the 10,000 Chaser point milestone – Super Sloth. The contact that took me to the mark was Mike 2E0YYY/p on G/SP-014 (2 points). Many thanks to all activators I have worked to make it to this score.

The steps between certificates become larger as you earn more points. The next Chaser milestone is 25000 points: 25 x Shacksloth. I reached that level on 29 January 2017, with a contact just after UTC rollover, only minutes after my first contact with the summit for the local day. So a big thanks you to Mark VK3PI/p for the 8 points that took me over the line. Again, thanks to all Activators that I have Chased to get there.
