If you are new to SOTA or maybe trying new kinds of activation methods then please make sure you know the rules.
Someone pointed me at a YouTube video of a guy doing his 1st activation. It was a drive-up summit and the activator took all the equipment out of his car and carried it a few feet to his table and setup ready to go. All was perfect apart from the fact he secured his telescopic antenna support pole to the front of his car.
Bzzzt. Not allowed!
I’m assuming this is OK for POTA and some other schemes but not for SOTA where your vehicle cannot be used. Now I have to ask them to delete this activation as it is outside the rules.
So please check you do know what is and isn’t allowed especially if you are new here.
