The Isle of Man ARS are going to attempt to simultaneously activate all our 5 Manx SOTA next Sunday 14th June between 0900to 1300 UTC. We think this has never been attempted before and will initially try S2S to the other 4 for activation and then for off Island contacts. We still only have one activator on South Barrule and Slieau Freoaghane if anyone wants to join them. Everyone will have 2m FM via HH +/- Yagis and some members may have the ability to do SSB on 2m and beyond. Postings are starting to appear on SOTAwatch alert from the other summits. This will be my second attempt at a SOTA activation- my first, last Friday on Loughrigg in the Lake District only resulted in 3 contacts despite hearing someone from a SOTA in Wales -clearly using more than 5W on an FM handie!

Will you also be active on HF?

It is possible. I would expect any of the activators to put an alert on the reflector if they are taking the capability to do this. I myself may be able to use 20m SSB if a replacement portable LiFePo4 battery arrives in time.
