On 28 september 2024 the VHF FM long distance event that is regularly held in EA/CT will be run.
Right now, if you look at the Slerts you’ll find a lot of them planned.
There are currently 31 summits scheduled during the morning. Don’t be surprised to see lots of Spots on VHF. We look forward many chases and interesting long distance S2S contacts, usually in the range 200 - 400 kilometer in this event.
Hi everyone! Still excited about the big radio day with this activity!
I wanted to share with you a little bit of my experience in EA1/SG-005.
I have returned to the summit with the flowerpot I made for the past event in june, and I cannot be happier with the feedback I got from the correspondents. Specially from my radio-godfather I could surprise him with the performance of the antenna (165km from me) despite his initial reticence about the quality and my skills .
As soon as I arrived as usual, I put the SOTA flag at the top but this time there was no HF antenna to prevent the loss due to the wind so I lost the SOTA flag in the first minute.
It was a pleasure make QSO with @EA1AER, because it was the second furthest contact with 276km and I was able to make a recording too. He arrives with full scale!
Finally 57 contacts in two hours with a maximum distance QSO with @EA3GNU at a summit EA2/TE-001 288km from mine.
