SOTA Presentations, Pics, Videos
Hi everyone, Wouldn't it be great to have a library of SOTA presentations and videos for us to draw on if we ever had to give a presentation on SOTA to a ham club or other group? If you've ever given
Hi everyone, Wouldn't it be great to have a library of SOTA presentations and videos for us to draw on if we ever had to give a presentation on SOTA to a ham club or other group? If you've ever given a presentation on SOTA or if you have any cool pics or videos of SOTA, feel free to upload them to the following locations. The intent is for other SoCal SOTA members to be able to use and customize the content for their own presentations (which ideally would ALSO be uploaded to these folders). I've just updated group permissions to allow anyone in the group to upload to these folders. Let me know if you have any issues. Thank you!

I have a day or two before joining a group in the Wrightwood area for CQ WPX next week for some SOTA. Looking at ANF and north SBNF which are both areas I haven't really explored. I'm looking at SOTL.
