What is a SOTA Pop-up Event?

What is a SOTA Pop-up Event?

So what is a Summits on the Air Pop-up Event? It’s an event where a group of chasers and activators all meet together on the airwaves within a short time frame. It might be compared to a "CW sprint". Some examples of a SOTA pop-up include the "North America to Europe Summit to Summit Event", the "Willamette Valley Summit to Summit Party", and the "Colorado 14er Event". These events occur once a year over a few hours on a specific day. Mini Morning Madness in Arizona is similar, however it happens about once a week from June 1st – September 1, instead of annually. And, rather than being a few hours in duration, the time frame is even shorter; about 15 -45 minutes for each pop-up event.
