In reply to M1EYP:

Q39) Which English SOTA summit was included in the G ARM despite the fact that it was known to have less than 150m prominence?

Wasn’t this Scafell LD-002?

Q17) What SOTA summits are “served” by the following cafes/hostelries?
(d) Restaurant Tan-y-Pistyll

Thought this one had been fully answered - surely this is Cadair Berwyn GW/NW-012.

In reply to M1EYP:

Q35) What was the favoured SOTA QRG on 40m CW, before 7.032MHz?

By logic, 7.030MHz on account of the fact that SOTA is generally QRP operation.

In reply to G4OIG:

Tom, I think its easiest to ask, which are still unanswered or answered incorrectly?

In reply to M1EYP:

Q13) Which associations have been completed by a single activator?

Couldn’t get my head around this one for a start -

Probably a part answer - GW (GW4BVE) and GD (quite a few). Can’t think anyone has completed all G, but maybe I am wrong.

Q2) What was the qualifying height for Winter Bonus in the original Wales (GW) ARM, before it was reset as 500m ahead of the programme launch?

From somewhere in the depths of my mind (something Richard CWI probably said at some point in time) - 600m i.e. 4 points and over.

Hi Gerald,

Lebanon has six ski resorts with groomed slopes, catering to skiers and snowboarders of all levels.

Here is the webcam of the ski-lifts of Mzaar Kfardebian; but no snow yet.
