SOTA-like activities on Hamsphere?
2022-01-17 14:11
Hello from Austria,

I brought SOTA to Austria in 2004 and wrote the first association manual for it. In the meantime, time has not stood still and in the amateur radio hobby the step towards ARoIP (Amateur Radio over Internet Protocol) has long been taken. Unfortunately, SOTA has not yet followed suit.

I am therefore making an attempt to set up SOTA-like activities on a small scale by means of Hamsphere. On a small scale because we do not have the elaborate SOTA infrastructure at our disposal. Therefore I do not plead for a competition with complicated rules, but simply for activating self-selected points of interest (scenic, touristic, technical, cultural, historical, sportive etc.) by means of Hamsphere or Hamsphere mobile and to present these activations afterwards at a central place (photos, video, possibly short reports).

As activations often take place under difficult conditions (mountain tops...), where the operation of the device should be uncomplicated and the comprehensibility should be good, I suggest a limitation to the 2 m - band.

Who would be interested?
