WG0AT QSL Card
WGØAT QSL Card 		Goats, Buddipoles, and Spud Guns!
A fun presentation by Steve Galchutt, WGØAT (formerly NØTU)

Steve gave a fantastically fun presentation about his hiking, portable, and goat experiences at our March '09 general meeting. Through these pictures and videos you'll see that he leads an interesting radio life with the help of his two goats, Rooster and Peanut - the three of them exploring Colorado's wilderness, climbing the state's highest peaks, and showing up at club meetings together! Steve, Peanut and Rooster were a lot of fun plus we all learned about Buddipole antennas, "Spud Guns" (Pneumatic Launchers), and what it's like hiking trails with two goats!
