Hi all,
Anyone here do SOTA? Chaser or activator? What are your experiences?
I'm new to it, recently acquired an FT-817nd, built a linked dipole and put together a go-bag, set off on my first activation yesterday...as
unfit as I am, I staggered up my nearest summit, set up my kit, erected the antenna, settled down to do some Tx, and that's when I realised I'd forgotten my mic! First SOTA fail! But, I'm not deterred, I'm heading
up again tomorrow, Saturday 30th July, to GW/SW-030, it's nothing
special, but hopefully I'll no longer be a SOTA virgin! I'm hoping to start Tx at around 1400 UTC, on 40m, 20m and 2m, primarily SSB, so if you're into SOTA, hope to catch ya on the air! 73
