After surviving 880+ SOTA summit activations, I wanted to share what I’ve learned from my experience and from others about how to lower the risk of injury and death while doing this outdoor hobby. In 2025, I published my “Top 10 safety Tips” in a weekly email series for SOTA (Summits On the AIR) operators. Later, I was asked to present my “Top 10 Safety Tips” to various Ham Clubs. This article puts all if together in one place with a little more detail. I hope you find some value here for you and your family.
