VE2 area manager Jean-Pierre Couture,VA2SG, has invited all of the US areas of SOTA to join him and the Canadian SOTA activators in a North American SOTA activity day, Nov. 14th. Several summits in VE2 will be on the air on Nov 14th, and I think it would be great if we could join in the fun and activate several US SOTA summits that day. Additionally, this will be a great time for chasers interested in picking up points with the “rare” W1, W2, W6 and VE2 area summits.
With the recent expansion of the W1 & W2 areas, there are many summits begging to be activated in the northeast US , with 1,103 summits located in W1 alone.
Several summits in W1 and W2 are particularly easy to activate and have roads to their peaks. In the W1 area, only the last 100 feet of an ascent must be byhuman power, in W2 and W6 the final ascent must be by human power without a specific limit. There are SOTA summits available for every skill level, and there are a set of awards for chasers as well for those who prefer to work the summits from the comfort of their radio shack.
I will be activating at least one, but perhaps several summits on the 14th, and I would like to see some fresh faces on the hills this November. Please let me know if you are interested in planning or going on an activation. If you know others who would be interested in activating a summit, please forward on this email to them. Remember, any band or mode is welcome in SOTA (but no repeaters).
Have a look through the SOTA website, http://www.sotawatch.org/summits.php for the details on specific summits, and feel free to email Tom T for a Google Earth file of all of the summits for planning purposes or download the summits.kml file directly from the Yahoo SOTA group files section: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Summits/files/Maps/
73 & hope to hear form you soon,
