From now on WWFF and GMA (Global Mountain Activity) groups are having a close partnership. Both groups share a lot of the same interests (mainly outdoor activations) and working together can only improve and expand outdoor hamming.
OK2APY, Alena, will be as WWFF Map Manager complete the GMA interactive map.
Check out the GMA website at www.cqgma.eu
As we also want to make the WWFF web an interactive platform for activators and chasers we gonna try to embed the brilliant GMA MAP and DX cluster
In the future we hope this cooperation may result in many more nice projects !
what’s the difference between GMA and SOTA ???
The main difference is the selection criteria for summits.
SOTA has a strict rule of 150m prominence.
GMA – see the main page http://www.cqgma.net/ – “… any summit 100m and more above sea level can be activated …”.
So, in other words, SOTA’s goal is to have a fixed summit lists with worldwide unique rules. GMA’s philosophy: If there are interesting and nice summits, they can be added to the list no matter if they fullfil a strict (prominince) rules or not.
Hope that helps to get a first impression.
