As Association Manager of the Netherlands ¶ and the Dutch Caribbean (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, Sint Eustatius and Sint Maarten) I am happy to announce that in close cooperation with the SOTA management team new SOTA associations have been established on the six Dutch Caribbean islands. Participation date is 1st March 2026 and following 12 new summits have been included in the list of associations and summits:
Aruba P4 P4/AR-001 Ceru Jamanota 188 m
Bonaire PJ4 PJ4/BO-001 Mount Brandaris 240 m
Curaçao PJ2 PJ2/CU-001 Mt. Sint Christoffel 372 m
PJ2/CU-002 Mt. Sint Hieronymus 230 m
PJ2/CU-003 Santa Barbara Table Mt. 196 m
Saba PJ6 PJ6/SA-001 Mount Scenery 870 m
PJ6/SA—002 Great Hill 423 m
St. Eustatius PJ5 PJ5/SE-001 Mt. Mazinga 600 m
PJ5/SE-002 Mt. Boven 298 m
St. Maarten PJ7 PJ7/SM-001 Sentry Hill 341 m
PJ7/SM-002 Naked Boy Hill 296 m
PJ7/SM-003 Fort Hill 215 m
All islands are part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and we are proud to add a remarkable list of interesting summits to SOTA. Mount Scenery, the sleeping volcano on the island of Saba, is the highest point of the Kingdom. Please note that foreign radio amateurs (including Dutch) have to obtain a temporary license from the appropriate authority before using your radio equipment on the islands. Not all islands are member of CEPT.
Also the French island of Saint Martin has been added to the SOTA associations with two summits. The island is shared by the Dutch (PJ7) and the French (FS).
I am looking forward to the first activation of the summits!
Bon Bini na Dutch Caribbean i amabel saludonan!
