On Sunday 31 August I activated a ‘Hump’ (P100) from Beacon Hill Nr. Torquay as G4ELZ/P. The reference given was G/HDC-001. Unfortunately somebody spotted me as G/DC-001. Spot the difference ?
If you worked me then please check your uploaded log and delete this entry. Feel free to spot me on the DX Cluster network or, alternatively, go to http://www.summits.org.uk/tiki-index.php?page=Summitsbase%20Home%20Page Thanks for your cooperation. Happy chasing

Good to hear that you activated Beacon Hill Jeff and thanks for the contact we had when I was on Eggardon Hill G/HSC-004. I too have had the issue of being spotted on SOTAwatch when on a HuMP, but the spotter was actually quite new to SOTA, so perhaps did not understand that there are two series of hills operating under separate schemes. Incidentally, I had to laugh recently when I worked Win Green G/SC-008 from Lambert’s Castle Hill G/HSC-008.

Thanks for responding Gerald. I’ve now purchased a smart phone so will be able to spot my own activations. What more could go wrong HI…Take a look out for me. Maybe I’ll do some more SOTA’s too. 73 Jeff.
I look forward to working you on either set of summits Jeff.
As for smart phones, well I consider mine to be a most useful tool, but often find that I have 5 bars of phone signal and no internet. I have tried to spot using the SMS facility on Rucksack, but when you can’t see whether your spot has worked, it can be most frustrating.

If you follow the @SOTAwatch Twitter account, you can get spots sent to you by SMS. Self-spots by SMS usually go round the loop in a couple of minutes, giving useful confirmation. Plus, of course, indications of potential S-S contacts.
You do of course end up getting rather a lot of text messages…

It’s obvious when it has worked… a pileup appears out of nowhere whether you are calling or not.
Give me that pile up!!! My self-spots are usually for 144.333 SSB. I let the RBN do its work on HF CW 
Whenever I self spot on RRT, within a minute I get an audio alarm and my self spot is shown within RRT.
Only because you have a mobile internet connection active.
