SOTA DX Contacts

Over the years I have made numerous DX contacts to overseas SOTA activators.  Below are a selection of some of those.

Mike 2E0YYY

My first ever DX SOTA contact was on the 1st December 2011, with Mike 2E0YYY who was in WALES activating Moel Famau GW/ NW-044, using the call of 2W0YYY/p.

​I have worked Mike many times since.  He is a very active SOTA activator.

QSO with Carl 2E0HPI and Jonathan M/VK6JON

In 2015 Carl and Jonathan activated Cringle Moor, using just 5 watts from a Yaeu FT-817 and a 20/40 linked dipole.  They were a great signal.

Cringle Moor is located on the northern edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park GFF-0012.

I received a 5/8 signal report from Carl and Jonathan.

​Carl wrote to me: "It was a pleasure to work you this morning on the Summit of Cringle Moor and it's amazing what the FT-817 can do."
