na-sota

Folks,

First HNY to all and your families.  Hopefully 2013 will be enriching and prosperous and that your SOTA activities will expand.

I have submitted the ARM (Association Reference Manual) Revision docs to the SOTA MT UK team.  As you may know, we were not successful in gaining approval for a points re-banding of Oregon or lowering the Winter Bonus elevation.  However, there was acknowledgement that the Winter Bonus elevation is >= 5,000 ft and the ARM doc is now in agreement.  

In order to promote SOTA operations in North America, September 8-9 has been
designated NA-SOTA weekend. Activators should make a special effort to be
operational on SOTA summits this weekend. Be sure and post your alerts to sotawatch.org and use the opportunity to let others know about our Summits on the Air 'radiosport.'
