SOTA launches new 'SPOTlite' facility

The Summits on the Air award programme has launched a new facility called ‘SPOTlite’.

This allows summit activators to post real-time information on their activities to the Internet using a mobile phone.

The information is automatically disseminated to the whole SOTA community using ‘SOTAwatch’, a system similar to the DX Cluster. SPOTlite is especially useful for summit activators in areas far from other radio amateurs but in range of the mobile phone network.

This is another first for the Summits on the Air programme which aims to use appropriate new technology wherever possible to enhance the award scheme. SPOTlite has been created by Jon, GM4ZFZ
