SOTA

SOTA counts summits. The reference looks like GM/NS-001. Tick SOTA under Award Settings. Award Info on the page is the short description of the scheme.

Picture needed: award-sota.png The SOTA page with the filters along the top and a few summits in the table.

What it reads

The SOTA reference on the QSO. You can be the activator or the chaser. The activator's reference is the summit they are on. The chaser logs the summit the other station was on. Cloudlog stores whichever reference you type, and this page lists those contacts.

The summit list is refreshed from Maintenance, and by the timed job if that was set up at install. A brand new summit that is not in the list yet still shows the reference you typed. The name and the region fill in after the list catches up.

Turn the SOTA lookup on in your account and typing a reference fills the summit name and the locator for you.

The bands in the filter are the ones marked for SOTA on Bands.

Filters

Date from, date to, band, mode, association, and region. Association is the part before the slash, such as GM. Region is the part between the slash and the number. Confirmed only hides summits that are worked and still unconfirmed. Apply runs the filter.

Under the filters, search by SOTA reference or by callsign. The table columns are the reference, the summit name, the region, the date, the time, the callsign, the band, the mode, and QSL. QSL shows W for worked and C for confirmed. The same page can draw the summits on a map, and the buttons on the table export the rows you are looking at.
