FOTA

Did my first Festivals On The Air activation from the Upton Blues Festival this morning. M0CBC worked M1EYP/P on 40m and OE20SOTA/P on 20m despite stupidly high local noise levels.

Not sure what the neighbours made of it all :rofl:

I imagine they felt pretty down about it.

I didnā€™t know Festivals on the Air was a thing. I wouldā€™ve set up a station a couple of weeks ago and joined in.

When I saw ā€˜FOTAā€™ I thought this must be ā€˜Forts On The Airā€™ (as in hill forts and the Welsh Borders has got quite a lot of them) but.perhaps, itā€™s an ā€˜ageā€™ thing!

I thought ā€œFogies On The Airā€ - Iā€™d fit right in.

Not sure they felt anything really, particularly later in the day :rofl:

I go to a lot of music festivalsā€¦got another couple in August and will try to get on from both of those.

Now, thereā€™s an idea

. . . for me FOTA stands for ā€žFango on the Airā€œ and means summits with muddy access trails, hi.

Now, if there were actual hot (but not too hot) mud springs to lay down in and ease my aching back, Iā€™d be up for that :wink:
