SV/AG-006 summit activation

Yesterday, 23-4-2026, I activated the summit SV/AG-006, Profitis Ilias, in Limnos island as SV8/SV2SOQ/P. There, i made the mistake to spot the summit as /AT- intead of the correct /AG- (Agean). I plan to send an emal to all chasers that conduct me when I get back home, I’m realy sorry for the inconvenience this might cause to them. Anyway, some pictures from the summit view, stayed till sunset next to mount Athos.

Pre-planing Castell de L’airosa EA3/TA-020

Hello, we want to share our next sota activity for This weekend. It is about the Castell de L’Airosa, a summit never activated, we assume due to its complexty when ascending. The last part requires using climbing technique. This project was started by my friend Roger EA3ISA, who is one of the adventurous Hams who has climbed almost all the summits of Tarragona, and he has kindly invited me on This adventure. We hope to head you from the summit This saturday 25-04 in the morning, Please stay tun...

SPOTA 3fer: Hunds, Views, PB's, Stupidity and MI5 Spies.

SPOTA 3fer: Hunds, Views, PB’s, Stupidity and MI5 Spies. : A grand day out at 1 summit, 2 parks and an Aldi. Ireland has been at the behest of a rather sparse, bleak month. I’m not referring to energy-related protestations either. Rather the joy of April showers. Side note: April showers is a phenomena that doesn’t actually exist (well, it actually sort of does but it depends on where you live in the world), the term comes from a 1557 poem by Thomas Tusser titled ‘Sweet April showers do bri...

So apparently the current record for highest mountain operated on #SummitsOnTheAir #SOTA is Aconcagua in South America, 6967 meters elevation. So, if any of you can climb a mountain 7km or higher you could set a record! #AmateurRadio

SOTA Weatherbot propagation forecast for trans-Atlantic s2s

The SOTA Weatherbot hosted by Dave, N7LKL https://sotaweatherbot.wordpress.com/ also includes a summit-specific propagation forecast based on a VOACAP (Voice of America Coverage Analysis Program) model using typical QRP 5 watt CW with ground-mounted vertical transmit antenna. It looks like 17M will be my best bet looking East on Saturday for trans-Atlantic s2s, likely followed by 15M. Stay well & 73! Mike, WB2FUV

World Amateur Radio Day is tomorrow (April 18)!

Activations to & from Norbreck 2026 rally

I’m mostly posting this because we tried an alternative route up Bardon Hill G/CE-004, which worked for us. For the first time I tried to add a route to sotamaps, but I gave up as the height data came out haywire, but it should be obvious from the description. Bardon Hill G/CE-004: 11th April 2026 We picked Bardon Hill because the weather forecast had bands of rain crossing the country and we stood some chance of arriving after one rain band had passed and leaving before the next one arrived. ...

GM/SS-059: Car Park Exit to Hillwalk Difficulty Ratio

I’d taken the week off work, thinking that surely mid-April would be a pretty safe bet for some decent weather and good opportunities to get away into the hills. Sadly, Scottish weather had different ideas: I’m all for heading out into the clag with a compass, but there’s not a lot you can do when MWIS is suggesting 40-50mph winds fairly routinely. Tuesday was looking like the best of a bad bunch, and with hills towards the east seeming to have the best odds of catching a good day, so I opted to...

Group Activation of Upper Park (GW/MW-032) — Part III

As has been well documented here, the SOTA summit of Upper Park (GW/MW-032) sits within a private estate, and individual access had previously been almost impossible to obtain. A change in approach — whereby access was requested on a group basis, managed by someone local (@GW4BML), relieving the estate of any administrative burden and accompanied by a sizeable charitable donation — saw today mark the third group-organised activation of Upper Park. The summit draws not only SOTA activators but ...
