New in hams.at: a more-fully-featured page to create and edit activations, and support for those special 2-grid and 4-grid activations.
Added hams.at support to specify uplink OR downlink for alert frequencies. And a couple more sats thanks to @2m0sql. Will probably tackle multi-grid alerts next.
Also added match scoring percentages to hams.at alerts to help weed through them. It’s based on your preferences for sat minimum elevation, and mode. See account settings for sliders to tweak it.
Updated the hams.at page layouts to be MUCH more usable on mobile. There’s room for improvement, but at least it’s not totally busted any more.
Added az/el calculations when the sat is at its shortest total path between two locations, to give you an idea of potential best-case operating conditions.
N2IEN, @W2RE, and @WW2DX operating VP2V/N2IEN. The @Buddipole BuddiHEX is on a triplexer at 600 feet MSL. The pileups won’t stop! Awesome to see 10m open.
Pretty excited to have my face on this month’s cover of CQ Magazine! We had a great experience operating the WPX contest remotely and are looking towards a repeat performance for CW in a few weeks.
SOTA Goat users: if you are unable to post spots or alerts, please go to Settings and sign out of SOTAwatch, then sign back in. I am working on a fix.
SOTA Goat has returned to the iOS App Store! Thanks for all your support, folks. Announcement here: reflector.sota.org.uk/t/sota…
A few screenshots of forthcoming SOTA Goat re-release, showcasing Dark Mode, real-time summit search, and an improved spot/alert entry form.
Fun fact: this flea market find is the canonical sequel to The Goonies. There is no movie Goonies II. #themoreyouknow #Hamvention
You may not see your pre-ordered K4 for months, but you can put a dust cover on your desk and pretend. #Hamvention
