Hello,
I am still far away from home with limited access to Internet, but just want to send a brief note to say the event was a complete success!!
In the end there were around 30 SOTA summits activated that morning on VHF FM and many people participated chasing us either from home or even portable from certain high areas.
That made the activation a joy. I worked 60 stations that morning from EA1/LR-001 and logged about 17 S2S, incredible for being VHF!
Thanks a lot to all participants. Many people has refused using VHF in the last years, but this event showed that a lot of fun is possible with very simple equipment and antennas if we organise and are QRV on the band.
As stated, it will take some time to collect all logs, and to calculate distances, etc, but we will publish some results and conclusion later on.
Again, thanks all for making this day so special. An activation that I will remember. Many people expressed thanks and is considering to get more involved in SOTA from now on.
