HEMA Summit Activation Award Scheme Expansion

/

For those planning to drive to HAM RADIO Friedrichshafen in June and looking for some radio activatons to do on the way, the HEMA team have just added another 135 summits into the award scheme. These are located in the state of Baden-Württemberg, where Freidrichshafen is located.

So why not plan a HEMA activation or two en-route to or from HAM RADIO? If the summit you chose has no name and you are the first to activate it, you have the opportunity of naming the summit in the scheme yourself!

To be able to alert your intentions, spot yourself when you are on a summit and enter you log afterwards, you will need to create an account at the website but that costs nothing but a few minutes of your time.

For details of the scheme, to create your account and check the mapping facility for which hills may be suitable for activation along your route go to the website at hema.org.uk.
