SUMMARY:ZS SOTA Activity Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Sponsor: SOTA SA\nModes: Mixed\nBands: not yet read off the spo
 nsor's own rules\nDuration: 45h 59m\nExchange: An RS\, RST or RSQ report a
 nd the SOTA reference.\nNote: THE CATALOG'S SECOND RECORD WITH NO BANDS\, 
 AND THE SECOND FOR A GOOD REASON. SARL states '2. Frequencies and modes Al
 l amateur bands and modes' -- there is no list to record\, and writing one
  out would be this catalog inventing a restriction SARL did not state. Sam
 e treatment as JARL's New Year QSO Party. The consequence is real and the 
 page says so: every band filter necessarily excludes this record.\n\nModes
  are 'Mixed' for the same sentence -- that is exactly what the token means
 .\n\nIt sits at the edge of what this catalog is for. It has dates\, rules
 \, an exchange and categories\, so it is a scheduled operating event with 
 a schedule worth publishing\; but it is scored through the SOTA database r
 ather than by a log submitted to the sponsor\, and 'Activator' and 'Chaser
 ' are roles rather than entry classes. Encoded on the same reasoning as UB
 A's Belgian Mills Award\, which is also an award-shaped event with real da
 tes. Sourced from the SARL Contest Manual\, which carries this contest's f
 ull rules and names its organising body -- the venue in which South Africa
 n clubs publish their rules\, not a listing of them. See data/sources.md\,
  'Nine South African clubs\, one manual'.\nRules: https://mysarl.org.za/wp
