Lyons Peak Summits on the Air plus a Snow Cave!
In summer we beat the heat and headed down the Medicine Lake California. Lyons peak is one of several summits in the area. Thanks to Amy AG7GP for telling us about the snow cave on the hike up the mountain. Very cool!

2024 Oregon SOTA Campout | Summits on the Air
Переглядів 1,1 тис.2 місяці тому
In July of 2024 Summits on the Air Activators and Chasers alike descended upon Howard Prairie Campground for the annual SOTA campout. It was incredibly fun to meet and activate with some operators who I've only "met" over morse code. Southern Oregon offers many many wonderful SOTA opportunities. K6ARK and I hit up two on our drive down, then knocked out four summits west of Ashland on our first...

The W7O Campout was in full swing and I timed my summits just right to hit Mountain Goat on Mt McLoughlin (W7O/CS-001). An awesome crew joined me for the hike: N6RUN, N7NWT, and KI6SYD. We hit the trail just be fore 4am and summited just after 7am. We were blessed with wonderful weather on summit. Thank you everyone who QSO'd with me on the day and over last few years on my SOTA journey. SOTA i...

    OK.. forgive the stupid question. I'm new to SOTA. Do the activators AND the hunters need to log their own contacts? I ask because with POTA the activators log everything and the hunters get the contact automatically added to their account. Just wanted to see if it was similar or totally different with SOTA. Thanks.

    • @N7KOM
      @N7KOM 19 днів тому

      Hi there, SOTA is a totally different system. Chasers are required to log their contacts with Activators to earn Chaser points. It is not done automatically based off of the Activator's log. 73!

    Tim, you need to start using SOTAmat. It is a lifesaver when you don't have cell service and when you do have cell service, it has some of the coolest functions, like simply sending "spots" via sms and immediately it gives you all the spots in the last hour over sms. In remote areas, it allows you to send pre-programmed messages to loved ones over HF which has been a an added safety for me. It will do everything your satellite communication device will do without relying on the satellite infrastructure. With SOTA Spotter going away, it is a good time to get on board. Paul VA6MPM

    I think my last video was the VOTA video. I think Volcanoes On The Air sounds good, don't you? I love 15 minutes from one active volcano and about half an hour from the other. Hawaii is crazy. We get snow, too. It's nothing like this video, but I think you know what I mean. If you ever end up in Hawaii, come check out the Big Island.🤙🏾
