SOTA or Summits on the Air is an activity where people carry portable amateur radio gear to a mountain peak and make as many contacts with other amateur stations as they can. It is good healthy exercise, great practice for deployment of communications equipment under adverse conditions, and mostly it is REALLY FUN.
Forget the physics and maths! SOTA is the ultimate way to play QRP on top of a hill / mountain, yes physics and maths is ivolved but at a fun level!

Nice video, Bob! Good use of a tripod! Rooster needs to carry one and use it! Nice catch on the DX IZ7(Italy)! Keep spreading the NA SOTA fever, 73 - Peanut
