I'd love to. It combines two passions of outdoor trips and ham radio. 
Now, where's that 2 pound all mode rig? Oh yes. That'd be a homebrewing 
too, for three!

Sorry, I got lost in all the W0, W1... listings... K0M, got it.

The unnamed (to SOTA) Oberg Mtn isn't quite as high as the adjacent SOTA 
named peaks, Carlton Peak and Moose Mtn it's between.

There are many along this trail section as shown of this elevation map 
if you're interested.

Another favorite outdoor spot (again non SOTA named/official) with SOTA 
draw is Levis Mound Mountain Bike area (roughly 15 miles north of Black 
River Falls) about 1200' above 1000' adjacent terrain. Not as high as 
nearby (4 miles SW) SOTA peak of Bruce Mound (about 1350' above 1000').

Are people largely interested in points for official SOTA point 
activations or .... what's the general interest in unofficial activations?
