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.
