I needed to log a few QSOs manually today on my phone, so I grabbed PoLo. Wow, I like how it works…easy peasy, it handles SOTA and POTA simultaneously.

It is a well-known fact that wearing a cool t-shirt on a SOTA activation adds 3 dB to your signal. Introducing the Colorado 14er & Mountaintop Event shirts. co-ham-radio.myspreadshop.co…

The recommended 2m FM frequencies for the event are 146.58, 146.55, and 146.49 MHz, to align with the use of the North America Adventure Frequency for SOTA (146.58). The National Simplex Calling Frequency (146.52) may be used as appropriate.
