LA SOTA 10 years activity day

[LB8CG]

This year it’s 10 years since the SOTA program started in Norway, and we invite everyone to take part in our activity day on April 29th.

Stations will be active throughout the day, but primarily around 11 UTC and onwards. We hope for many S2S contacts and many chasers!

I think our activation teams will definitely manage to activate 10+ summits around the country and it will be nice chance to log LA10SOTA this day. We will also try to be active on the bands which are not often used for SOTA.

Do you want to participate from Norway? Get on a plane, there are SOTA summits near most major airports

Norway is our destination for this year’s summer holiday! We’ll listen out for you on April 29 but hope to hear many of you in LA during our activations in July and August

Hi, Sylvia. I am organizing group activation for our local Oslo club at activity day and will use most likely LA4O call sign, hope you and Peter will be able to log QSO with us! You are very welcome to Norway, sure you will not regret the visit. There are a lot of non-activated tops which wait for the activator :)! Let me know if you will be in area around Oslo and need some company in a hike!

73!

How nice to hear that you are going on vacation here @OE5YYN. Do you have any plans for where you are going? I will also be traveling around to do activations here in late July / early August, and it would be very fun to meet you on a summit (or somewhere else)

Do you have any plans for where you are going?

Hi Kjetil,
Since we have already been to the Southern and South Western parts of Norway we are planning to travel up to Trondheim along the Eastern part of Norway and then on to Bodo (and maybe the Lofote islands) but it all depends on the weather. We’ll most probably arrive in the Oslo area in the second week of July and head back around the second weekend in August.
We’d certainly enjoy meeting and/or activating a summit together!
In the meantime, we’ll hope to catch you on the air!

73, Sylvia OE5YYN

I would certainly love to travel to that part of the country myself, but it’s very far from where I live (near Stavanger). I hope to get a chance with nice WX to get to Galdhøpiggen, but that’s probably as far North as I’ll go.

Hopefully we’ll get some QSO’s before then, and certainly on the 29th I got some first activations lined up for that day, my plan is to camp on one summit, then move to a second summit since we have planned a late activation (11 UTC).

Your 10 year activity day on April 29 coincides with the VIENNA Sota Day here in OE. So there should be enough OE activators around

Let’s hope for good propagation!

Great Should be lots of chances to do S2S contacts then.

Looking forward to it. Will LA stations be posting alerts on Sotawatch ?

Will LA stations be posting alerts on Sotawatch ?

Yes, we’ll at least encourage those who activate to do that
