SoCal SOTAFest 2022

Numerous SoCal summits will be on the air over the weekend as part of the SoCal SOTAFest. For more information about the SoCal SOTAFest, please visit the event page! The SoCal SOTAFest event has three main goals (besides having lots of fun):

1. Make summit-to-summit contacts with other radio operators and wrack up activator points for the group. Activators are those who summit a mountain to make radio contacts and earn SOTA points.
2. Provide an opportunity for people new to SOTA to experience the thrill and adventure of hiking up to beautiful and remote destinations and making radio contact with others.
3. Give "chasers" an opportunity to earn tons of chaser points. Chasers are those who seek to earn points by making contact with mountain activators.
