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!
