POTA vs. SOTA - Comparing Ham Radio Programs "Parks On The Air" with "Summits On The Air"

Great video, and nice to see an 818 in the field...my 817 says hi 😊

Good to know the difference in qualifying an activation, although I'm familiar with the SOTA scheme, I think there's a POTA eligible park near me so will have to check it out.

One small thing regarding SOTA summits...very occasionally, a summit which is really close to the 150 meters prominence can change its status, usually as a result of a correction in a new survey. I only know about this because it happened to what was my nearest qualifying summit, which was a bit of a bummer as there used to be summits two within about 50 miles of me and now there's only one.

Great video Chris. You done good

Fantastic work!

They add new summits every once in a while. Just last September, where I'm at, W6/SC, they added W6/SC-461, Chiquito Peak. Not often, but it does happen. Great video. 73 de W6OBB

Thank you for creating this video explaining the differences between SOTA and POTA. Videos like this are very helpful in educating people about the differences between these two programs.
