Again, this year we will be running a raffle to try and raise as much money as possible to help the running costs of SOTA, i.e websites … servers etc.
So, for the activators and chasers who are unable to attend the event on Saturday 14th June 2025, and would like a ticket, it is £5 a strip. This strip will get you 5 single tickets and a chance to win a good selection of prizes which relate to our hobby.
To date, I have the following prizes:
SOTABEAMS 6m Tactical mini pole
Yaesu FT-65e Hand Held
Icom baseball cap
Icom bag
MW0SAW 40/20m portable antenna
Icom mug
Baofeng UV5-R Hand Held
M0JKS LoRa Tracker
Icom flash light
And many more…
In the meantime, if you would like to purchase a strip (£5) or maybe more please send the money to my PayPal address with your call-sign in the reference box. Please make sure you send the funds as ‘Friends or Family’ to the following PayPal address:
I will then mark your name down on the rear of the tickets. If anyone else would like to pay over PayPal who are attending the event, please feel free to do so, but make sure your call-sign is also in the reference box when transferring the funds.
SOTA is a great amateur radio hobby, so lets try and support the best we can
I’m really looking forward to meeting everyone on Saturday 14th June - let’s hope the weather is booked this year for the event!
If anyone that hasn’t paid, and wants to come, please let me know by PM or email using the address above - EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
Just over 1 month until the GW SOTA event - grab you tickets now to save the rush on the day if your not attending, please feel free to purchase tickets, and your name will be written on the back of each, for a chance to win some great prizes!
The raffle tickets to purchase online will be open for one more week (deadline date will be end of play on Sunday 1st June 2025). So, if you’d like to support the running costs of SOTA, and your not attending the GW SOTA hog roast in person, please feel free to purchase one now, all details are in the above main post. We have over 10 great prizes, all related to the SOTA hobby. Good luck!
The online raffle has now closed - thank you to everyone who has purchased tickets. They will now be available to purchase on the GW SOTA day with cash.

I messed up and sent this today. I’m happy to make mine a donation. I should have scrolled through all the messages rather than just read the original post at the top.
