A way forward for SOTA scoring and mapless associations.

That is more than cancelled out by your use of on site power, instead of taking proper batteries or a bio-diesel generator.

It is however clear that the scoring structure is completely contradictory to the carbon free environmental goals.

The new scoring system should be based on how close the summit is, and how little energy is required to ascend, with a bonus for using the lowest carbon motive power - e.g. riding an ebike or fresh Swedish vegan**.

I would commend DL1CR for his sterling effort with a contact a mere 30 wavelengths distant. Truly he is showing us the way forward.

**if you can find one with a particularly strident set of lungs, it really cuts through qrm, and can attract lots of attention at any summit.
