July Summits News will be published on Friday 1st August 2008
Discussion & comments on the
Summits Knowledgebase SOTA forum
Welcome to The Summits Knowledgebase
The friendly summits site
This site is primarily aimed at participants in the Summits on the Air (SOTA) programme, but 'normal' summit baggers and walkers should also find the site useful, although they will have to ignore the references to antennas and radio.
The main Wiki is a repository for information that would be useful for people ascending summits. There is also provision for equipment reviews and any other information you would like to share. There is an area for your blogs and forums for your use to share your views or even buy and sell equipment.
The data on this site is constantly being updated as people contribute to it. At the moment, many of the summits in England and Wales have at least one route entered, but more routes are being added all the time.
This is your site and you are encouraged to contribute and add to, or edit, the information it contains. If you see errors or think you can improve any submissions then just do it. Because there is an amount of trust involved you need to log on to use many features of the site, including facilities such as editing the pages, forums (reflectors) and areas currently under development.
Licensed radio amateurs please use your callsign as your username.
Now the small print.
This is a very new site (late March 2008) so the information is currently limited, but of course the solution is in your hands. It is your site and you can edit the pages with nothing more than your normal web browser.
The site administrators and contributors do not accept any responsibility for your safety or for the accuracy of any of the routes/information shown on this website. Please ensure that you have the correct knowledge and equipment to keep yourself safe in the hills and mountains.
Enjoy.
