GENERAL RULES 2015
Μερικές σημειώσεις από τη νέα έκδση των SOTA General Rules (Μάρτιος 2015, σε ισχύ):
1.The Programme is intended for portable operation (/P) and does not accept operation from a motor vehicle.
Summits that are accessible by road can still be included in the programme, although operation from within vehicles or the near vicinity of activator’s vehicles is not permitted.
Operations must not be in, or in the close vicinity of, a motor vehicle. No part of the station may be connected in any way with the motor vehicle.However, the use of a bike (non-motorized) or animals to enter the Activation Zone is permitted.
2. The Activator must hold an appropriate transmitting licence. The activator must hold a licence or a reciprocal/guest/CEPT licence for the country of operation. Supervised operation is not accepted. Use of a club licence is permitted as long as the operation takes place under the same conditions that activator’s own licence allows, such as power and frequency limits.
3. There are no specified SOTA frequencies but Activators are encouraged to suggest frequencies on which they will be operational for specific Expeditions. Although operations are likely to be QRP, the use of internationally recognised QRP frequencies should be avoided because of QRM from QRO Chasers. It is suggested that Activators should use frequencies sufficiently offset from QRP frequencies to avoid QRM from Chasers.
Θα ακολουθήσουν και άλλα, όποιος θέλει κάποια διευκρίνηση ή έχει καποια παρατήρηση είναι πάντα ευπρόσδεκτα φυσικά.
