The great outdoors
ometimes referred to as Adventure Radio, outdoor operating is an aspect of amateur radio that has seen huge growth in recent years. For this chapter, outdoor operating means a portable or mobile station without mains power, carried some distance to a site rather than being, for example, in a vehicle. This style of operating includes Summits on the Air (SOTA) activations, Worked all Britain operations from remote areas and operating from beaches for a great salt-water ground-plane.
