If you'd like to see some pictures of the SOTA-rama in the Ozarks event held in conjunction with the 10th Anniversary version of OzarkCon 2013 last week-end, go to the MO SOTA website: "www.mosota.org" and click on the link to "In The Log" at the bottom of the homepage. The first entry on that blog page now includes pictures of the SOTA exhibit plus activations of 3 of the 4 MO summits in the Eureka Springs Escarpment Region of W0M-Missouri.

HI GARY,

Summits on the Air (SOTA) has a specific definition of a summit and I could only include those summits that qualified when I set up the Missouri Association with the SOTA Management Team in the UK back in January. The main criterion is "Prominence" which is a geophysical term that roughly means the difference in elevation between the highest point and the highest nearby saddle. Elevation by itself doesn't qualify. In Missouri, we are a P100 Association, meaning that a qualified summit must have a Prominence of 100 meters (328 feet). I'll check my database for Long Mountain, but since it is not on the SOTA list, I'm assuming its Prominence falls short of 328 feet. By the way, SOTA has a separate category for VHF and up. Look at the main SOTA website: "www.sota.org.uk" for the General Rules, or look at the Resources Page of the MO SOTA website: http://mosota.org/resources.html for several other pertinent links. You'd be very welcome in SOTA!

I just looked up Long Mountain in my database and my suspicion was correct. The elevation of Long Mountain (Ozark County) is 1,450 feet ASL and its highest saddle has an elevation of 1,290 feet ASL, giving a Prominence of only 160 feet. The minimum Prominence for SOTA qualification in Missouri is 328 feet. The nearest SOTA qualified summit to Long Mountain is Romance Lookout, also in Ozark County. Romance Lookout was activated by KD5ZZK, NM5S, and K5SSR during the time of OzarkCon 2013.
