I am curious too. I've been mainly doing POTA but would love to dive into SOTA
one of these days. I live in a state with tons of mountains -- Colorado, so
you'd think I'd do it more. I tried to setup a station at Mount Evan's a few
weeks ago but ran into one issue after another, so I had to abort. I may try
again here soon.
