Hi All,
We would like to canvas Expressions of Interest for the 7th SOTA “Summit” gathering at Mt Hotham.
An earlier message to the OZSOTA group has produced a good response, so the trip is a definite GO.
If you have already responded, there is no need to respond again. You will receive more information soon.
The dates: Friday 21 March to Monday 24 March 2025 (Monday night, with Tuesday departure, is also an option).
Venue: APEA Ski Lodge, Hotham Heights
A preliminary booking has been made by Peter VK3PF.
Costs: $38 per person per night.
The weekend attracts both activators and chasers. Most participants come away with at least 100 Activator points, plus a stack of Chaser & S2S points, so a great opportunity to push your points along.
The great thing about the Victorian High Country is that there are also parks to activate.
It’s a great opportunity to check out other folk’s gear, experience how others activate and to get the latest information on summits.
A document “Hotham Summit Loops” written by VK3PF is a fantastic guide of summits with an outline of summit circuits you can do and maximise your point tally. The file can be found in the Files section of the OZSOTA@Groups.io website, under Hotham Info. It is expected that an updated version will be prepared prior to the event in March.
For those of you thinking of coming from interstate or overseas, we’re happy to work with you to get to Mt Hotham. We usually have a number of 4WDs that are happy to take passengers.
If you could respond to peter.vk3pf@gmail.com by Monday 24/2 with the numbers likely to attend and accommodation required, so that we can confirm lodge accommodation.
Please come back with any questions or queries: probably best to email Peter direct.
Looking forward to the next gathering.
Peter VK3PF
