Association Reference Data

Programme derivation

Polish SOTA is an extension of similar programmes already active in other countries. Much of the initial list of summits was based on the work of Piotr Mielus published on http://www.peaklist.org/ website (Dziękuję jeszcze raz, Piotrze!). A couple of summits have reference numbers for SOTA also in Czech Republic and Slovakia. As stated in General Rules, you must choose SOTA Association and use proper reference number before activation and you cannot change it during your activation. The summit database is unlikely to be complete. If you find a summit which you'd like to add to SOTA-SP, or you find a mistake in this ARM please contact the Association Manager. Activators are asked to submit details of proposed additional summits to the Association Manager. Summits cannot be counted for points until a reference number has been allocated by the Association Manager.

General information

Regions are based on macroregions of physico-geographical regionalization of Poland by Jerzy Kondracki (http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafika:Physico-Geographical_Regionaliza-tion_of_Poland.png) with few exceptions (explained in Region Reference when necessary).

All regions do have the same points rationing scheme. To qualify for a summit it has to meet the following requirements:

• The summit must be listed in the Hiking Map 1:50 000 with a corresponding Name
• The summit must be elevated at least 150 m from it’s surroundings
• In the case of doubt the Management Team will decide whether the Summit will be added to the list

The summit database does not claim to be completed and can only be changed by the acceptance of the management team. Summits cannot be counted for points until a reference number has been allocated by the association manager. There is a unwritten rule which that you should say “Hello”, “Good Morning/Afternoon”, etc (in polish “Dzień dobry”) to other people you meet on footpaths, esp. in Sudetes.

Rights of way and access issues

Footpaths in Poland are usually well marked. Anyhow you should take a good map of the region where you want to hike plus GPS and/or compass if you have one. Never hike without a map, always follow the footpath. We (the Association team) don't know anything about summits which are private property. If you find one, you'll need owner's permission before attempting activation.

Maps and navigation

The easiest way to obtain a map is to buy one in the city or village which is closest to the summit. We are sure, that you will be able to obtain one in almost every shop or kiosk. Best maps are printed by Compass www.compass.krakow.pl/ and Plan www.plan.pl/, but not exclusively. In every table of summits there is a column “Mountain Range” (keyword), which will help you to find most accurate map for summit's surroundings. You can also use webmap by Targeo, http://www.targeo.pl. Some areas of Poland are covered by APRS.

Safety considerations

Before hiking always ask for weather forecast or check it i.e. on http://weather.icm.edu.pl/. Please remember, that weather in the mountains can change rapidly and you should be always prepared both for snow, rain, strong wind or intensive sun, especially over 1000 meters a.s.l. In case of emergency you should call GOPR (mountain rescue group) using mobile phone number +48 601 100 300.

Foreign HAMs in Poland

Holders of CEPT Licenses are authorised to transmit according to their licenses and IARU Region I Bandplan. You should have a copy of your license with you.

Podział kraju na okręgi wywoławcze

You should prefix your callsign with "SP/" (SP is the main prefix in Poland, other prefixes are: SQ, SN, HF, 3Z, SO and SR). Then you can add “/QRP”, “/P”, “/M” and when working using power from socket (230V) you should use “/n”, where n depends on the region you are in (shown on map on the next page). Second stroking isn't mandatory. If you'd like to transmit from Poland for longer than 3 months you should contact UKE (Urząd Komunikacji Elektronicznej, Office of Electronic Communications) in order to obtain a (F Class) license.

You can contact UKE via: Office of Electronic Communications (Urząd Komunikacji Elektronicznej) 18/20 Kasprzaka Street 01-211 Warsaw Poland e-mail: uke@uke.gov.pl http://www.en.uke.gov.pl/ Office hours: from 8:15 until 16:15 Monday through Friday.

Awards

There are no Association-specific awards at the moment. However, SP9KGP clubstation is a publisher of Korona Gór Polski Award (Crown of Polish Mountains) for QSO/SWL from/with operators QRV from highest peaks of Polish mountains. Visit www.sp9kgp.org for more details.

Disclaimer

Hiking, hill-walking and rock-climbing are potentially dangerous activities. The SOTA Management Team and their associates assume no responsibility for accidents. Each participant does so at his or her own risk, and must decide, on the basis of their own ability, whether an objective is achievable. The listing of a summit in the reference does not mean that it is easy to reach, and it is always worth seeking local advice for all but the simplest of expeditions.
