SOTA Day

The North American 'Summits on the Air' (SOTA) activation day is Saturday, November 14th.

The four North American associations of 'Summits on the Air' are planning a multi-summit activation spanning the North American continent.

Portable, mountain top stations will be operating from the VE2, W1, W2, and W6 call areas. The operators will be using the extensive spotting and alerting system devised by the SOTA organization.

Seasoned "summit chasers" all over Europe will have the opportunity to work expeditions on SOTA's western frontier, and a new group of North American chasers will get a chance to work multiple summits.

To join in the fun, visit the SOTA Web site at http://www.sota.org.uk/ and set aside Saturday morning, November 14th, for Summits on the Air.

The W6 crew, K9JWV, KI6NN, and KI6J, will be on the road to the Mojave Desert on Friday morning. We'll camp the night at the foot of Teutonia Peak, SOTA ref CD-013. We plan to hit the trail just before dawn and hope to be QRV on the summit around 1500Z Saturday morning. Planned OP: QRP station on 40, 30, 20M and a 100W station with gain antenna on 20M. We'll operate until the batteries run dry.
