Hallo zusammen,
I’ve been building something I think the HB9SOTA community will find useful: ARO Field Atlas, a free, open platform that puts POTA, SOTA, WWFF, GMA, and more on a single interactive map.
What makes it different from SOTLAS, pota.app or other platforms:
All programs on ONE map, see which parks overlap with which summits. We use the same open model SOTL.as uses, and are very inspired by the great work Manuel has done over many years.
The platform is designed to drive traffic to the programs, not away from them. Amongst the features we have
- Live propagation: PSKReporter spots, solar conditions (SFI/K), greyline overlay, band activity chart.
- Weather forecast on every entity page, check conditions before heading up.
- „Plan activation“ form right on the entity page
- Enter your callsign to see which entities you’ve activated (green rings on the map) and which you haven’t
- SwissTopo basemap included
- 3,000+ entities in CH/LI/DO, 46,000 activation records indexed
- No account needed. Just open aro.travel, enter your callsign in the header, and explore.
And many more that are on the roadmap.
Built by HB9HJU from Switzerland. Feedback welcome, this is being built in public and every feature is driven by what operators actually need.
