We are pleased to announce a new Flickr group for Summits On The Air related photos which is now linked to from SOTAwatch and will also be used to select photos for the pages on the new SOTA website (coming soon!). Thanks to G3CWI for this managing this new group.
It is worth stating, that we in no way want to discourage use of the existing Flickr facility run by John GW4BVE. This is an established, well managed and well used facility and we appreciate the work he has put into this.
However, we do need one to be linked officially from the other SOTA online facilities. And the new Flickr group can be found via the links above or directly here: Flickr: The Summits on the Air Photo Pool Pool

“It is worth stating, that we in no way want to discourage use of the existing Flickr facility run by John GW4BVE.”
So will there be a link in some way on the SOTA site so we can still find Johns fine work or will there be no further reference from SOTA to the old Flickr site?
There are clearly more images on Johns site so there should at least be a link until the new one has at least as many contributions.

fine work
Given that John asked for the link to his Flickr group to be removed it would be wrong for Jon to provide a link to it until John requests it again.
I shall be posting into both groups as it gives me more chance to post scary pictures of my vast and prodigiously flabby belly and, of course, my man-boobs!
HB9BAB’s photos are - well - spectacular! Most impressive. GW7AAV’s hardly leave a stone unturned. I reckon he’s pretty well got the entire ascent of Shining Tor covered in his collection! An excellent variety of shots in G1INK’s collection.
Good stuff folks. I think I’ll keep my collection on my website; that takes long enough in itself, but I’ll tryu to dig out a handful of the best ones to go on the new Flckr group.
Well looks like everyone is having ago now, more and more photo’s turning up everytime i log on, ive just uploaded 16 photo’s my self.
Nice one Richard,

Steve, I think Tom has been looking at our personal Flickr collections (which will be linked from the members list) as I haven’t posted any photos anywhere recently. I have run out of room on my account as I have 200 photos on I need to pay now.
I will have to bite the bullet. :o(
Yes, that’s what I was doing. I wondered why M0SGB had put a batch of family party photos on the SOTA group, but of course he hadn’t! I think I understand a bit more about how Flickr works now!
I see the SSEG SOTA QSL card collection is on the pool now. Wonderful.

I am still a happy costumer of the “old” SOTA-watch. http://sotawatch.sota.org.uk/spots.php
The link to Flick´r there is still the old.

Thanks for pointing this out - believe it or not I’d not taken much notice of Flick’r till tempted in by the new SOTA group, I’ve now followed your link to John’s and it’s a brilliant resource. Anyone out there not familiar with it, take a look. Hopefully both will flourish!
