Weā€™ve been 11 on YO/MC-006 in August during the 2015 YO SOTA Marathon, I donā€™t know of a larger activation.

I recall ā€œmass activationsā€ on Easington Fell G/SP-012 (with silly hats and cheese) and Lowick High Common G/LD-049 in the past. Iā€™m sure there were others I canā€™t bring to mind too. Iā€™d have to look up how many activators were involved.

Maybe Andy MM0FMF could run a query on the Database to return a ranking of how many activations on one summit on one day. I donā€™t know how easy or difficult that would be.

I think this is the SOTA Cam for the summit. Youll be able to watch yourself get in our logs!!

Weā€™ve been 13 on HB/ZH-004 in May during the 2015 HB9SOTA annual meeting. This May our next annual meeting is on HB/AI-001. In the afternoon, a joint activation is planned.

The most I knew of is the 1st Ailsa Craig GM/SS-246 activation which has 10 activators making QSOs. The Easington Fell G/SP-012 on 31-Aug-2008 only shows 9 activators.

Hi All,
I think we will have 6 SOTA Goats and 8 Shack Sloths on Mt Hotham, surely this must a record. Listen out for us.

Hello,
I wish VK stations a very happy day activating together. Itā€™s always nice to meet and spend a funny day with friends around amateur radio!

The prolific activators group in EA2 region celebrated last year their annual meeting activating EA2/VI-040 on Sunday 14th June 2015.
The following activators using their gear made part of the activation under the special call EG2UNA:
EA1GMP, EA2BD, EA2CQ, EA2CSC, EA2CW, EA2DXY, EA2DYS, EA2EBX, EA2EEB, EA2EX, EA2SN, EA2WX, EA2OX, EB2AOC, EB2GKK, EC2AG
We were 16 activators together there. A big record!! :two_men_holding_hands: :couple: :two_men_holding_hands: :two_women_holding_hands:

Some other SOTA mates joined us for the lunch when the activation was over. Maybe the good food is the reason for having such a massive number of activators in this land? :smiley:
Look for EU-VK on your planned dayā€¦ VY 73 de Ignacio

P.s.this year we will have our EA2 sota day near summer time.More info when properly arrangedā€¦

With regret I wonā€™t be able to make this after all :cry: , need to travel to Europe unfortunately. So possibly weā€™ll be down to only 17 activators on Mt Hotham. No, I donā€™t know how that maths works (*), and I have a degree in the subjectā€¦

To be honest, Iā€™d be scared about the number of goats. The last time Iā€™d activated with just two of them, I was scraping together my second QSO long after theyā€™d qualified the summit on multiple bandsā€¦ :worried:

Iā€™ll pull down my alerts for the weekend, but rest assured there will still be plenty of 10 pointers activated over the weekend in the area. Iā€™m sure someone else will put something up.

I may look at taking the MTR and activating HB/ZH-015 or similar on the way home as a consolation. Weā€™ll see.

*) okay I do - rumour has it there are several others interested
