2026 SOTA Challenge (Part 2)

VK3ARR & K7UOU >Tab info- thanks.

2m/70cm SSB/CW only? What about 2m/70cm FM simplex within the same Maidenhead=One point or None?

Cheers and All the best in 2026!


Funny anecdote about challenges in general. I’m still a noob overall but for 2025 I thought the 10m challenge was a thing. I had no idea about reading the reflector. I saw that I had points albeit they were from 2024. Well, I built a 10m moxon after seeing the few points that I had accumulated aided by the fact that 10m was golden this year. Along the way I had a blast and all the while thinking that the 10m challenge page would get updated eventually. LOL! I even built a 6m dipole out of carbon arrow shafts for the 10m/6m challenge although I never got a 6m contact.

I’m still in that steep learning curve phase and very glad I’m on the reflector now. :wink: The mistakes were still fun and thinking of gear for 2026 already. I see a wire/carbon yagi in my future.

Please add a few more details about the events to the tabs if possible.
