Gateways On The Air will is QRV for its 4th year between Saturday 15th to Sunday 23rd June 2024.

The “Gateways On The Air” event which is proudly hosted on the FreeSTAR Network.

The aim of GOTA is to promote increased RF voice communications via Simplex Gateways where we encourage licensed amateurs to go outside into the fresh air, either when portable or mobile to work a Simplex Gateway from a location of public interest.

GOTA is a “just for fun” event where there are two categories for both the Activators and the Chasers to enter. The event is run in the spirit of SOTA, BOTA, IOTA and commences during the height of the summer solstice which promotes increased radio activity to take place late into the UK summer evenings.

Our official event sponsor is our friends and retail partners at Moonraker. To be in for with a chance to win a prize, all you need to do is have one meaningful QSO via a Simplex Gateway! To enter just log your QSO on the GOTA website and you will be placed into a free prize draw.
