[CQ-Contest] Whiskey Two Papa Victor

[James Cain]

Coincidentally, just this week, the PBS show Globe Trekker featured a young woman host climbing the Matterhorn, on the Swiss/Italian border. 

I thought of Jim Lawson, W2PV, who, unless my memory has completely failed me, climbed the Matterhorn in his 50s or maybe even early 60s. 

Someone who knew Jim better than I (Hello Fred Lass, K2TR) could confirm this. I never doubted it since Jim climbed his tall towers whenever necessary well into middle age. He had a Telrex Big Bertha pole, the only one I've ever seen in person.
