SOTA Flavours Challenge DV Week 1-7 March 2020

The next "Flavour" in the 2020 SOTA Challenge is the DV - Digital Voice flavour in the first week of March 2020. All SOTA QSOs completed on DMR, C4FM, D-Star or FreeDV will automatically attract scoring credit in the Challenge.

As repeaters and gateways are not valid for SOTA contacts, all QSOs will need to be simplex.

Already there is substantial C4FM activity planned in the Shropshire Hills on Sunday 1st March 2020, and in the Clywydian Hills on Saturday 7th March 2020.

On the evening of Monday 2nd March, there is a SOTA DV activity night. Several activators will be out on the summits with DV modes and will be supported by the Stockport Radio Society, and the Macclesfield & District Radio Society, chiefly on C4FM mode on the 2m band.

On the evening of Wednesday 4th March, another SOTA DV activity night takes place, this time supported by the Lancashire-based North West Fusion Group. This will be mainly on 70cm C4FM.

It is hoped that more focus activity sessions will be arranged in other parts of the country, and on other DV modes. Please refer to the SOTAwatch Alerts webpage for the latest updates on planned activations and activity sessions.
