HamAlert – Chasing and Completing SOTA (and DX) Efficiently
by Manuel Kasper, HB9DQM
HamAlert is a free cloud-based notification system that takes spots from the DX cluster, the Reverse Beacon Network, PSK Reporter and SOTAwatch, lets you filter them by many criteria, and sends you a push notification, email or SMS immediately when a matching spot appears. In this presentation, the features and use of HamAlert will be explained.
FT8 and SOTA: Is FT8 a good mode for SOTA, or are there too many kW of HF in a 2.7-kHz segment?
FT8 is very effective for worldwide QRP communication on the HF bands. But there are only a few SOTA activators and chasers who are using it. I have been one of them and would like to pass along what I have learned.

A question/answer session with Andy MM0FMF from the SOTA Management Team
An accident waiting to happen
by Geert Paulides, PA7ZEE
Taking two actual cases that happened during SOTA activations, this talk will discuss the real cause of these accidents – some call them incidents. The purpose of this lecture is to change the culture within SOTA so that we all will report about what happened and we all can benefit. The difference between an accident and an incident? Just luck!
