| | SOTA Summit to Summit Event
Club: Callsign:
State: Brief Description :
Full Details : In Summits on the Air (SOTA), one of the more difficult and therefore challenging
actions is to communicate from one summit to another usually using low power and
a simple antenna at both ends. Add to that distance and poor propagation and the
challenge is enormous.
This will not deter over 30 SOTA activators who are planning to climb again this
year to summits in Europe, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Japan
on Saturday 10 March. In time for long path propagation between Europe and Asia
Pacific.
The summit to summit (or S-2-S) event will start around 06:30 UTC - for Long Path
between Europe and Australia over the following 90 minutes or so. Despite
predicted poor propagation there are from time to time openings even at the
bottom of the solar cycle. It is the first time that South Africa is joining in
and while contacts from there to Europe are unlikely, contacts over to Australia
may take place. The ZS SOTA database has been extensively updated, visit
www.sota.org.uk and look for a summit in your area to activate on 10 March. |

| | Meet the Voice Event
Club: Callsign:
State: VK7 Brief Description :
Full Details : Every year in March, over a relaxed weekend, radio amateurs from all over Australia come together in picture perfect Ross Tasmania and 'meet the voice' they often talk to 'on air'.
With a combination of relaxed atmosphere, great location and excellent facilities, this event is one that unites old friends, creates new ones and fosters camaraderie amongst all those who attend.
Whether you're want to catch up with an 'on air' mate or meet some new ones, this event will give you a great excuse to kick back and just enjoy the company of fellow amateurs and their families.
The main event is on Sunday, but many arrive from Friday on to make a social weekend of it and the camping ground is usually brimming with radios, car boot sales, retail stock for sale, the smell of cooking and the sound of discussion and laughter, as some great yarns are swapped as visitors move from campsite to campsite sharing a joke, solving problems, or just creating world peace and harmony with their presence (;->
