SOTA Activators

Summits On The Air is a scheme that encourages amateur radio operators to go portable and work from high places around the country, and around the world. Operators don’t need to be a mountaineer to take part, and if the idea of climbing mountains and hills in the name of amateur radio doesn’t appeal, then they can be a ‘chaser’ sitting comfortably at home working the more adventurous SOTA operators.

For activators along with their Radio Equipment and battery other equipment can come in handy, such as a GPS device, a decent compass and set of maps, a first aid kit, torch and waterproof clothing. Logging is important, so an LZ Organiser II fitted with HamLog would help with this rather than pen, paper, clipboard which is difficult to keep dry. HamLog can record all the reverent details needed to Submit the Activation Log.
