ARLA/CLUSTER: Jornada SOTA entre a Europa e a Austrália (e não só) agendada para o próximo sábado, dia 10 de Março

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

 SOTA summit to summit Europe to Australia and beyond

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.ukand
look for a summit in your area to activate on 10 March.
