Here is how it works: Go to the SOTAWATCH website. Clicking the link will take you there. The top section of the page is showing you the LATEST SPOTS (time is in UTC).

Create an Alert and then Spot yourself on the sotawatch.org web page (using smartphone app). Make Your Call. By the rules, SOTA contacts are always simplex, so on 2 meters the place to try is usually 146.52 MHz, the National Simplex Calling Frequency. (Some areas have established other 2m simplex frequencies to use for SOTA, so inquire locally.)
