SOTA-LINK

SOTA-LINK is an experimental back-channel to support SOTA (Summits on
the Air) activations, and facilitate group chats between SOTA
enthusiasts all over the world.

The project uses WIRES-X room 44050, which is connected to the
Macclesfield System Fusion gateway MB6SO (144.8375MHz).

This is linked to the Brandmeister DMR server TG973, thus allowing
access via DMR.  It is hoped to be able to allow connection using
other digital voice modes in the future.

The project is in its early stages of development, but has already
seen C4FM and DMR users connecting in and facilitating SOTA QSOs.

Note that QSOs for the SOTA awards must be direct and not supported
through repeater networks and gateways, so communications via
SOTA-LINK themselves would not count.

Thank you to Richard G3CWI for devising and developing the SOTA-LINK project.
