When we head to the mountain for our next SOTA activation, why do we have to rely on mobile phones, when we're supposed to be experts in communications?
Because if we don't use it, we won't know what's happening around us! That is, how can I know that an activator is transmitting from a nearby summit on VHF, or that there is someone else activating on the same HF band and mode than me just a few KHz away?
Well, with DAGA, and using only our networks APRS, APRS-IS and APRS-LoRa, we can stay updated on all the SOTA activity, being able to send and receive spots by means of just a talkie.
