OARC FOTA Activity Day
Introduction
This came about originally because Mark (2M0IIG) wanted an RSGB Brickworks point for organising a club meeting or event. He toyed with a few ideas but it seemed like the easiest thing to do was to arrange a Summits on the Air day for those of us who like to do such things. It was easier than arranging a detailed programme for an evening activity and any tuition required.
New for 2026: OARC brings you FOTA - Fun on the Air. In the past folk have felt that maybe they weren't up for a full SOTA trip up a hill, or perhaps they didn't live near a summit. So we included POTA in previous activity days, not mentioned as much but certainly encouraged. This year after a suggestion on our Discord we're just making this an “anything goes” OTA day. Summits, Parks, Castles, Bunkers. Whatever. As long as the place you want to go to is part of an OTA award scheme then it is in scope - as long as you're doing radio, we're happy!
