Central Texas POTA and SOTA

 

Good Afternoon!?

Chris and I are trying to catch up with Barbara and Jim ? and will be trying to activate our first SOTA tomorrow morning! We are hiking up to a summit in Hill Country Conservation Area and hopefully activate ??
To activate a SOTA we only need ONE contact. We will spot ourselves on SOTAWATCH.sota.org
If ?you are around tomorrow morning we would appreciate your help with this activation! Also- prayers for me hiking up this summit ?

Finally, this FRIDAY we will be activating a POTA at Enchanted Rock. Y¡¯all. I thought this was a SOTA but it¡¯s 75ft short of qualifying. So basically we¡¯re doing another hike up an ¡°almost summit¡± and will activate the Park. Please spot us if you can! We will spot ourselves on POTA.app
THANK YOU!!!!
 

you can totally make this hike and I will look for you on the air!

Thanks to all who tried to help us out! We made a few contacts on the summit but 10m was pretty dead today. Also made one 2m simplex contact which was fun!
?
Will let everyone know next time we¡¯re a activating a POTA or SOTA. Should be doing another POTA on Friday.?
 

I agree Chris, 10M was so dead that I began to think that my radio or ATAS failed!? I could hear FT8 and that was about it.? Glad you all got the activation.

I heard Puerto Rico contact you guys but I can't hear you at all and apparently you can't hear me either. Good luck today
 

We activated the park! Jen needs to get her General!! Thank you for everyone who helped us and listened for us!!
 

Congrats on activating. I agree that Jen needs to get her General, that would make activating so much easier.

FYI, I plan to do a SOTA tomorrow at W5T/NT-039 after ground crewing some work at the Doucette repeater. It will probably be mid- afternoon by the time that I am on the air.
