Geoff, M0PYG and I, G4OOE are coming back again staying at the Patterdale Hotel to activate a few more WOTAs and SOTAs between Sunday 31st May and Friday 5th June. Hopefully, we will get good weather again relying on Mark and his dancing skills! As usual we will be walking gently Bentley and looking forward to some more activations and working with fellow enthusiasts.

Will one of you be using a LoRa tracker so we can monitor your progress towards the summits?

Hi Andy,
I haven’t used a LoRa tracker before and haven’t any real idea of how to set one up so the answer is unfortunately no. However, I will investigate it and see what is involved.

The SOTA shop sells the complete LoRa APRS tracker.
 [sota-shop.co.uk](https://sota-shop.co.uk/dp/SOTA%20APRS%20tracker/)

_SOTA APRS Tracker with various options_
You can either configure it yourself (i.e. add your callsign) or ask them to do it for you.
Another option: they sell just the case, 2000mAH battery, switch, SMA to IPEX connector and JST cables and you buy the Heltec tracker PCB separately (e.g. from [Aliexpress.com](http://Aliexpress.com)) - as I did - download the firmware from the internet, and fit the PCB, battery, etc into the case.
They sell an accessories kit: a EU433 flexible antenna (3dBi), a separate USB C charging / docking station (and USB cable), belt clip and wrist band.
If you enjoying getting into the nuts and bolts of it, you could read through this mammoth 12-part SOTA thread …

Thanks Andy for the information about APRS. I haven’t yet done anything about it as I have just come back from a Cyprus holiday with the xyl! Anyway I hope we manage to work you at some time over the next few days.
