To qualify for this award you need to work 2 SOTA Activators in 5 Associations, which for me was 5 VK call areas.
Mountain Hunter Award (all bands) Status = Bronze

Contact was on 20m. My only other VK4 contact was early in the morning on 40m. VK4 is difficult to work, over 1000 km away and at the limit for 40m daytime contacts, more suited for higher bands.
Update. The award arrived in the email, here it is
Congratulations Ian persistence has paid off. A mighty fine effort for a very attractive award. 73 Andrew, VK1NAM
