SOTA Challenge 2006 Results

Each year SOTA Beams runs a competition for young radio amateurs.
The objective is to encourage them to try portable radio operating within the Summits on the Air award programme.

The 2006 winner is 14 year old Jimmy Read M3EYP.
Jimmy activated an amazing 84 hills in 2006 - a feat that puts him high up in the overall table of activators for the year.

Along with this feat, Jimmy also walked the Pennine Way with his father, Tom M1EYP.

Jimmy tells us that he intends focusing on Uniques in 2007. Jimmy wins a SOTA Beam and 7m pole.

SOTA Beams will be running their Challenge again in 2007.
