2019 EA2 SOTA DAY / SOTA EGUNA

Activation Reports Pre-Planning
1

Hello,

this is the 6th time we hold the annual meeting of EA2 SOTA activators and friends.
This year we will activate on Saturday 8th of june .

A large group of EA2 amateurs will share equipment and antennas to activate Mount Bitigarra, ref. EA2/VI-013 .

We will use the special callsign EG2UNA , as for the previous years, and we will operate for a while then changing operator.

If you can please try to work us in different modes / bands as it is possibly an operator change.
We will report and provide some pictures and the story after the event.

Cheers and 73 de Ignacio

Hello,

last saturday we had our activation day together, as planned.

Weather was fine and a big group of activators and relatives went up the summit to put on air the summit EA2/VI-013.

Propagation wasn’t at its best shape but most of us qualified using the speciall call EG2UNA.
We met with lots of HB9 activators as well on their special activation day from different summits!

Here you see the group pictured on the summit:
